Loving God,
You have known me from the very beginning.
You know me better than I even know myself.
You see my strengths and my struggles.
You see how I can serve you and the world.
You love me just as I am, while you invite me to grow.
Send me out into new challenges with hope and courage.
Use my gifts and my abilities as a blessing to others.
Remind me that I am precious and beloved, and that you are using me to care for the world. Amen.
