O Father,
How great is Your goodness and Your lovingkindness!
Help me today to receive from Your hand
all that You have for me:
the forgiveness and love secured for me by Jesus Your Son,
the grace and strength needed for every moment’s calling,
the disappointments and interruptions that test my faith,
the glimpses of beauty and pictures of truth You provide in their midst,
the confident expectation and hope of all that You have promised,
the peace that passes understanding,
the fruit of Your Holy Spirit as You work to produce it in me.
O Father,
May I humble myself to receive all that You have for me this day
with open heart and hands
with full assurance of faith
cherishing Your love,
and knowing You are good.
Amen.
Kept and Keeping
