O gracious and holy God...                              

Thank you for your presence, power and the gift of life.  

Thank you for your  love  and  beauty  that  are revealed in humans and in all Creation throughout the Cosmos.

Thank you for the opportunity to be your children and to have all the rights, privileges and responsibilities granted to members of your family.

We pray for the full indwelling of the Holy Spirit, for guidance and discernment.

We pray for healing and peace and for the motivation individually and collectively be healing and peace.

We pray that we may practice silence that sometimes speaks more profoundly and meaningfully than words.

We praise You not just with our mouths but with our lives, with all that we are.

We praise you in this Eternal Now; it is praising time. 

Amen.
