Lord, hear our prayer:

Father, Lord, we praise you, the Lord of all wonder and all life. We rejoice that with you nothing is impossible and that even before we knew it you were touching our lives and preparing them to be filled with your love. We praise you for your Holy Spirit, who opens our eyes to see the world, not only as it really is, but also as you meant it to be. We praise you that your presence and power still transform the world and the lives of your people, and that your being with us still gives new meaning to all that we do. We praise you for the light and the peace with which you flood our lives and for the truth that makes each day worthwhile. In the name of Christ, Father, we thank you.

Amen.
