Loving God, praise to you, for your rule is forever. We rejoice to see you. We continue to see your glory and experience your grace and mercy. Thank you that your joy covers us, giving us energy and life.

Reveal to us the ways you have prepared our ancestors for past droughts and circumstances, so we can recognize how you have also prepared the way for us. Give us the spirit of celebration, so we will rejoice together in your blessings.

Thank you for this sacred time with you, Divine Family, where we can hear your truth. Thank you, all who belong in Christ Jesus are your children who share equally in the inheritance of your promises. You call us to live as your heirs, to live lives of faith that reveal your love for creation.

We give you thanks, meeting us in our circumstances and challenges of this life and giving us all we need for each day. You give us hope to remain with you. In your presence, we have no temptation or hardship that cannot be overcome. Your blessings are new and continuous each day. We will receive your blessings and journey together in a good way.

Loving God, thank you for teaching us skills for living. We hear the invitation to listen to the wise and add their learning to our toolbox for right living. We humble ourselves before you. Grant us wisdom and self-control.

We gather together in an ascent to your sacred prayer space. We sing as we come to you songs of our ancestors throughout the generations. Before we knew you, even when we did not acknowledge you, your blessings and protection showered upon us. We see you smiling towards us as we praise you.
