Prayer
2.15.04


O holy God, all powerful, all wise, and all good,
Whose gifts are without number
And whose magnificent creation unceasingly overwhelms us with a sense of awe,
Whose life transcends all time and space,
We thank you for the gift of this consciousness,
Which instructs us that we are indeed sharers in your creation.

We thank you for the gift of this search for you,
For this time together,
For the gifts of sight and speech, of touch and smell--
But most of all we thank you the gift of life itself.

May we grow in an appreciation of the abundance of your love for your creation,
And may we, today, during this day and in this place,
Enrich ourselves with a greater knowledge of you.
