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.

We enter your holy prayer space, celebrating we are your children of light. Thank you for the instruction to put on faith, love, and hope. We get rid of doubt, anger, and hatred. Thank you for the gift of community, which encourages us to grow in faith, love, and hope.

All manner of creatures and creation are here with you. Grandmother Earth receives your breath and provisions. Grandparent Rocks, Ancestor Trees, and all creation are singing your praises and telling stories of your blessings and treasures. We listen, are amazed, and join in creation’s songs of celebration.

Give us your peace, so we will be content to remain on your Ancient Path. We will keep our eyes on you and the Faith-markers of our ancestors, so we will resist temptation and not stray from this path.

Thank you for this precious time with you. Speak, LORD, for your servants are listening, wanting to draw near to you. Thank you for giving us what we need for the day, so we stay close to you.

Today, we invite you to reread, rest and reflect on the prayers of the past week.
