We sojourn together. We seek truth, not gossip. We will speak, act, and live honestly and honourably upon your Ancient Path, and greet each other in a good way.

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.

Unto the King Eternal, unto the King Immortal, unto the King Invisible, the only wise God. Unto the King be honour and glory, forever and ever! (1 Timothy 1:17)

Give us the spirit of contentment, so our uncertainties will scatter in the wind like chaff from the wheat. Fill us with your daily manna, so we will not look elsewhere for spiritual food. We will look with amazement at the wonder of your creation, and accept your invitation to participate in your great mystery.

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.

We, your beloved children, cherish this time with you and soak up your love, so we can take your love with us and share it. With grateful hearts, we long to be like you. May our words and actions be a pleasing aroma rising to you, Oh LORD.
