Dear Lord, God You are my shelter and my strength My place of refuge when all the world seems too much I trust in You completely, because I know You I see Your smile in the faces of friends and family and strangers in the street My faith is buoyed with Your warmth I feel Your presence I do not fear what the future holds, for I know You have ordered it for my highest good And for the good of all humanity In every season, a blessing In every challenge, an opportunity to know You more, to love and to trust You more I am so grateful, and so thankful, for Your grace and Your mercy Thank You In spirit, in love, in the brilliance of all creation Amen
