O God,
Help me to know you are near.
Help me to notice your presence and your gifts today.
Show me your love and your compassion.
Show me your persistence and your hope.
In frantic days and in quiet ones, remind me that you are near,
Help me to see the countless ways the world and my life are filled with your love and justice, with your peace and hope.
Show me your transformation and new life.
Amen
