Thank you, Yahweh, for remembering our devotion to you and your promises to us. Thank you for clothing us in your righteousness. You surround us with your love; may we be aware of your loving presence and never take it for granted.

We come into your presence singing your praises. You are here waiting for us to come and share how we are doing and what is going on in our lives. Thank you for delivering us from fears and anxieties. We are your blessed children.

We gather as faithful followers to hear your teachings and learn from you. We enter your sacred prayer space, amazed and concerned about how we can measure up to your expectations, and enter your kingdom. You reassure us that you have already chosen us as your own and that your desire for us is to fall in love with who you created us to be.

We enter your sacred prayer space. Thank you for welcoming us with open arms. We long for you; we long to follow you, O LORD. You know the cries of our hearts. We seek to live righteous lives, guided by your will. We long to participate in your great mystery.
