Lord, hear our prayer:

Lord, righteous and merciful, we give you thanks that as you met the disciples on the seashore, in the same way you are with us in the ordinary things and in the ordinary situations of life. When we are at school or work, you are there. When we journey, when we play, when we study, when we fall in love, you are there. When things are going well and life is easy, when all we had hoped and planned goes wrong, when we are rejoicing in our successes, or in the depths of despair in our sense of failure and guilt, when we are in a crowd and when we are alone you are there. You have always been there and you always will be. Though we don’t often say it or show it, we want you to know, really to know, how very grateful we are. Receive our thanks and the worship of our lives, through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
