November 13

Our Generous Lord,
Thank you for the blessing of a new week, You who deck Yourself with majesty and excellency and array Yourself with glory and beauty; You who laid the foundations of the earth, who set the stars in place, who stays the wave; You who commands the morning, who has entered into the treasures of the snow, who causes the bud of the tender herb to spring forth, out of whose womb came the ice, who sends lightening, who puts wisdom in the inward parts; who gives understanding to the heart; who provides for the raven and fills the appetite of the young lions; who fashions the ostrich with wings and gives the horse its strength. O Lord, only You. Yet You are mindful of pitiful, unthankful man. You are surely a God of love and almighty wisdom which no man can touch. Thank you for the grace You so graciously bestow. Please forgive our haughty display of affection toward You. May we abide low, that we may not cause You to bring us to our place, is our prayer, in Your Son's everlasting  name, Amen.
