Lord, hear our prayer:

Father, we thank you that he shared in the joy of that celebration, and that his presence brought an end to disappointment and the beginning of a discovery. We are filled with gratitude every time we remember that Christ’s coming transforms the waters of existence into the sparkling joy of life filled with the Spirit. We thank you that there is no situation, no experience, no frustration that is beyond his power and presence. May the peace that passes understanding fill us with thankfulness for ever, in Christ Jesus.

Amen.
