Prayer 109 (inspired by Psalm 103)

The blessings of the Lord our God
outnumber the stars,
and we praise You, Lord, with all of our might.

You forgive our weaknesses and wrongs
and call us back to you again and again.
You are gracious to us as we find our way to You,
and crown us with love and compassion.
You abound in love for us;
your patience is like a flower that never withers
even in the heat of our foolishness.

Be the ruler of our hearts, O Merciful One,
and the guidance of our hands:
let us praise You through our actions today.
Give courage to us when we falter,
strength to us when bowed down,
endurance to us when overwhelmed,
and mercy when suffering.

We lift up these loved ones to you.

Amen.
