     Gracious Heavenly Father, we gather in Your presence this morning with a  thankful heart. 
     Lord, thank You for the gift of our family; for the love that binds us; and for Your faithful provision, and good health. May we rejoice always.
     Lord, thank You for giving us the privilege to be called Your children. We humble ourselves before You, as we realize that we have found favor in Your sight. May we rejoice always.
     Lord, help us as we reflect Your burden-bearing love for others. In this way, we will fulfill the law of Christ to Your praise and glory. Enable us to support the weak and help the afflicted. 
     Lord, we pray for ourselves. Renew our hearts and keep away from us all fears and distractions of this world. We lean on Your strength and not our own, today and every day.
     In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
