Heavenly Father, You are the giver of ALL life. I thank You, Lord, for the gift of
life which You have given me. Teach me to recognize the sacredness of my life.
Teach me to honor the sacredness of others. Remove from me the selfishness that
prevents me from experiencing the majesty of each soul. Help me to recover from
the indignities that I have suffered and which have diminished my self respect.
Restore in me the conscious understanding that Your Holy Spirit lives in me and
that all my actions and thoughts should reflect the holiness of Your indwelling
Presence. Sanctify my life, Heavenly Father, that I might be a blessing to all whom
I meet. Let this world be a brighter place because You reached out to others
through my simple acts of kindness. Help me to believe in my own goodness that I
may resist temptation and celebrate Your gift of life this day. Amen.
