Prayer of Devotion

O Holy, Loving God, how long before we remember that the plan you have for the life of each one of us is designed to bring us the greatest Good??  We know better, but we still go through life struggling to do things our own way without taking into account your divine plan.  Open our hearts and minds so that we become devoted to following the way you have given for our lives.  Then we will really have good reason to live every day as a day of Thanksgiving and praise.  We would feel your hand in ours - may we reach out and feel the grasp of your power.  Amen.
