Give Us Grace to Perceive our Place in Life

Holy and Loving God, who created all things for a purpose and touched life with beauty; open our eyes to behond your glory and your wondrous will for our lives.  Don't let our sins prevent us from seeking your forgiveness.  Don't let our failures close our minds to the inspiration of your Holy Spirit.  Don't let the mysteries of life keep us from comprehending your truth.  Don't let our satisfaction with present blessings limit us in readiness to receive larger blessings.  Help us, O Lord, to search out your reasons for blessing us so richly as individuals and families.  Give us grace to perceive that place in life where we may glorify you.  In Jesus' Name we do pray.  Amen.
