Prayer, day 1688: In thanksgiving for a birthday


(Inspired by the Jubilate)
You are the source of all goodness, O God, and our shelter in times of trial. 
The lands ring out their joy to God, whose mercy never fails. 
God calls each one by name, and we answer our shepherd's call. 
We know You have made us and are with us, O Loving One, and we sing your praise.
Your gates open before us; let us enter with thanksgiving, sure in your reception and protection of us.
We call upon You and You answer us, for your faithfulness endures from age to age.
Strengthen and vouchsafe those who call upon You, especially these for whom we pray.


Amen.
