Let Us Desire No One But You

Dear God our Heavenly Parent, even when we hesitate to come to you in prayer because of our failures or shame, You are always ready to meet us with your love and goodness.  We thank You , O God, that through the goodness which You lavish on us, we are bound together as a family of grace.  We hold precious things in common, we converse in the circle of prayer, and we rejoice in Your eternal presence which is always with us.  How good and wonderful You are, O precious Lord.  We give thanks in the name of Jesus our Savior.  Amen.
