Our Lord of Life,
We thank you for this gift of existence for we know without You, life as we know it could not be. No heartbeat, no thought, no praise, no joy. For before the foundations of this universe were devised, You thought of us, individually, unique and perfect. And if only one had sinned, Your plan would not have changed. You know the inner workings of each one of us. Nothing escapes Your notice, no disappointment, no hurt, no tear. You long to be with us each day and hear our heart, and we long to spend time in Your presence. You bid us, "Come into the Holy of Holies and tabernacle with Me." Here we are Lord. Take our life and let it be, only, always, Lord for Thee. We need You, every hour. Be with us now and abide as we rest in You, is my prayer, in our Lord and Savior's name, Amen.
