Gracious God and Loving Father, King of the Universe, we give thanks to You, for You are good; Your love endures forever! Inhabitants of the world, do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. Lord, teach us Your ways, that we may rely on Your faithfulness; give us undivided hearts that fear your name. We pray this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
