\nPowerful, gentle God, you can take desert waste and make it grow into fruitful land.\u00a0 We need your power to change life.\u00a0 Our lives are so often full of drudgery.\u00a0 Often we forget to live thankful lives, and we get bogged down in self-pity and blame.\u00a0 Empower us, God.\u00a0 Help us to feel your Spirit changing us, each day, that our lives may be full and glowing in your love.\u00a0 Through the Spirit, whose breath sustains us, we pray.\u00a0 AMEN <\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThe good news in Christ is that God offers us life at every moment, forgiving us, and inviting us to the freshness of new beginnings.\u00a0 Let us praise this God of Grace! <\/strong><\/p>\n
\nMay the Words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be always acceptable to thee, O Lord.\u00a0 AMEN<\/strong>
