this day unfurls before us:
let us anchor it in praise to You,
ground it in faithfulness and grace,
our vision sparked by gratitude, not grievance,
that we may have a taste of your heavenly banquet.
O God Our Shepherd, Our Guide:
this hour offers itself to us,
redolent with possibility:
let us devote it to manifesting your goodness
by the purity of our actions and words,
holding fast with integrity to your Word,
nourishing the hungry, welcoming the stranger,
and tending the soul-weary around us.
O God Our Shield, Our Promontory:
this moment calls to us:
let use our breath to breathe our prayers to you,
rising with the song of birds,
singing their way home,
that in faithfulness and confidence
we may center ourselves and those we love in you
as we pray.
Amen.
