Another week, another opportunity to serve! We are grateful, Lord, that the same God Who blessed us last week and all the days of our lives is here to be our Guide and Companion. Give us faith to believe, knowing that faith is the eye to see God, the hand to cling to Him and a receiving will to apply Him in all that we do. So with our hands in Yours, cause us to move forward confident in the knowledge that life is not a problem to be solved, but a gift to be enjoyed. Inspire us to do all that we can and trust God to do what we cannot.
And to You, O Lord, we give our praise and thanksgiving. Amen.
