John 14:9 “Have I been so long with you and yet have thou not known me, Phillip?”O God of Mercy and Grace, we long for a deeper experience with you. Apart from you there is an emptiness which nothing can fill. Our search for meaning is endless until we find the meaning for our lives in you. Grant us the ability to see how life can be purposeful instead of aimless, good instead of bad, happy instead of unhappy, and rich instead of poor.

We place our hands in yours as we begin this day, knowing that a close walk with you lifts life to a higher dimension. May we see in simple things deep truths; through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
