Loving God, thank you for the way in which you lead us through the pitfalls of our lives. Thank you for seeking us out when we lose our way. You provide us with safety and shelter. You give us sustenance and rest in beautiful places. Your earth yields a rich variety of food to support out bodily health.

Your generosity extends beyond the merely physical. You sent our Lord, Jesus Christ, to show us how to,live and to redeem our sins. Your comforter, the Holy Spirit, walks alongside us in good times and bad. Let us always be thankful for your care and protection in the dark times of our lives. Amen
