Loving Yahweh, praise to you for calling us out of the darkness and bringing us into your light. Thank you for your mercy.
We gather early in the day to receive your wisdom and strength for the day. Even before we arrive, you are already in your sacred prayer space. Your teachings fill us to overflowing. You fill us with every good and wise thought.
Thank you, Holy Spirit, for helping us to pray. We hear the invitation to grow by living lives of faith and intentionally loving you. We are blessed by your mercy and love. Thank you for giving us joy.
We choose you above all others to be our God. With you as the author and foundation of our lives, we will love you, and encourage others to also grow in their love for you. Sustain us on your Ancient Path. Grant us your grace and faith to step boldly into thresholds that take us to your glory. When fear grips us, empty us of our fears and pull us forward, so we will step into your light and everlasting life.
We enter your sacred prayer space with praise and thanksgiving. You welcome us with your loving embrace. You assure us that you have reserved space for us in your kingdom. You give us all your wisdom to live lives as your beloved sheep.
With joyful hearts, we sing your praises. You, Loving God, are our King. You created us to be in union with you. Thank you for leading us, providing for all our needs, and protecting us. Thank you, we can worship you in one accord.
