With our whole hearts, we worship and adore you. Thank you for the sacred space, where we can explore and embrace your love for us. In hope we are joyful and we lift up our prayers. Our love for you is deep and wide and it flows out to your creation. We pay attention to see you and who you send our way. May we live in harmony with you and your creation.

We enter your sacred prayer space, remembering your birthday into this physical world. We gather with friends and family. We read and reflect on the stories of your birth. We celebrate and give thanks for the many blessings of the past year.

Thank you, Adonai, for this sacred journey with you. You are our mountain of strength. Thank you for being our ever-present help and provision.

Fire, storms, and floods consume our enemies before you. At your command, your adversaries are swept away. You sustain us within your veil. Though the earth quakes, mountains crumble, and waters roar and foam; you are with us and are our refuge.

With joy we praise you!

Thank you, Divine Family, for this sacred time with you. Thank you for Jesus, who is the image of God, helping us to see, know, and experience your love in real and tangible ways. Thank you, our purpose is in Jesus.

Loving Divine Family,

We enter your sacred prayer space; through the city gates, we have followed you. Past market tables and into the city square, you bring us to people who are lost, forgotten, downcast, and considered crooks, thieves and sinners. We feel uncomfortable at first. But you teach us your ways.
