“Dear Lord
descend upon us
dwell with us and within us
deepen our awareness
Dear Lord
keep us
counsel us
care for us
Dear Lord
we ask these things to make our way through this day
with hearts wide open to whomever we meet
with minds quick to find ways to serve in compassion
Dear Lord
may the beauty of the earth remind us of your presence
may the wonder of the world inspire us
may the glory of the morning guide us
Dear Lord
praise be to you
amen”
The Rev. Robert Watkins
