Praise!

Almighty God, we lift up our hearts to you in prayer, asking you to bless us this day.  We thank you, O Lord, for this beautiful day and for the life you have given us to live to your glory.  May your Spirit manifest itself to us during this day, bringing us peace and courage to live lives of righteousness and service.  Call forth all that is best in us so that we may act according to your Will.  In the name of Christ Jesus, our Lord.  Amen.
