Lord, hear our prayer:

Almighty God and Father, we are grateful for each person whose words and deeds, and whose life and example, have spoken to us of you. We thank you most of all for Jesus Christ through whom you have made yourself known and knowable; that he lived our life, shared our pain and overcame our death; that through your Spirit we can begin to know something of your life, love and joy within us. We thank you that we can enter each day and every situation, and that we can face all that life brings us, in the knowledge of your loving, caring, sovereign will. In Jesus’ name.

Amen.
