Lord, hear our prayer:

Wonderful God! We thank you for every person who has touched and changed our lives for good, and for those who have reflected your goodness and love and given us hope; for every person whose words and deeds make it easier to believe in you and to trust your love for us; for every person who makes kindness, goodness and faithfulness the qualities that others long to experience; for all who speak words that are good and true and helpful and for those who make other people know they are accepted. Through Jesus Christ, who is the center, the cause and the object of our praise.

Amen.
