God of our life,
Through every season, we trust in You.
When faced with any manner of hopes and fears, Your mighty hand guides us.
With each new day, when morning lifts the veil, we own Your endless mercies.
Lord, Your presence is our power.
God of the past,
Our times are in Your hands.
When we feel alone, You abide with us.
Your radiant light shines brighter than the darkness that surrounds us.
As we look back over our life, the evidence of Your grace is undeniable.
Lord, You never fail.
God of our future,
Though our path is unknown, we follow You.
Give us faith to continue taking steps.
Lead us by faith to hope’s promised land.
Be our refuge in moments of strength and weakness.
In You, we find our heart’s true home when all our years are spent.
Lord, You are our eternity.
Amen.
