Dear God, the heavens are telling of Your glory and the wonders of Your love, the sun by day, and the moon and stars by night. Yet, as clouds will cover your sky in the gloom, as the ceilings of men's buildings hide the sky from my sight, so the cares of this existence block Your majesty from my mind. I look with hope to the day when my knowledge of Your glory will never be hidden by the concerns of the world, and I may know You every moment of time, forever.
Forgive me for all the time I spend with my face bent to the things of earth, Your Spirit ignored and forgotten. For You are always there, willing to show Yourself to me and guide me and comfort me if I only lift up my head and see the sky above. Give me the grace to embody love for others in spite of what they say or do, and to express the sacrificial love of Jesus by treating others in the way Jesus treated me.
Now God Himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, I pray that You direct my way unto You. Make me and all of us increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward You to the end. That, we may establish our hearts unblameable in holiness before You, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.
Amen
