Eternal God, Our Father, as we bow in prayer, may we turn toward Thee like a flower turns toward the sun. You have created us a little lower than the angels and crowned us with glory and honor. We are unfulfilled until we acknowledge our high creation and accept from you the forgiveness of our sins and begin to live a life of love and service. Yet we know we have tried to play God in our own lives. When we do, nothing turns out right. There is an aching void within. Our relationships turn sour and our daily work has little meaning and reward. We know it, yet we go on living this way.
Help me to believe that in this very moment your hand is stretched out to me in love - that no matter who I am and where I am or what I have done or how I feel, I am loved, loved by God, loved with an everlasting love. Help me to believe that when I am willing, that love will take me, forgive me, put a new song in my heart, transform my life and at last take the sting out of death and the victory out of the grave. Amen
