Opening Our Hearts to Thanksgiving

Embedded Divinity,

We feel you in our inner recesses,
we see you in the eyes of our neighbor struggling through tough times.

Your mighty power fuels the sun,
as it rises, sets and warms the earth,
your power fuels the love that heals.

You are the source of all that is good,
all that is sacred,
and the very empathy we feel for others.

We manifest you when we offer kindness,
to those who do us wrong,
those who self-sabotage,
& those unlike us in manner and skill.

Help Us!

Help us to release our judgmentalism,
our self-aggrandizement,
and our desire to be right.

Help Us!

When we see your movement in our lives,
help us to offer thanksgiving,
cause us to witness to your saving acts,
your healing acts,
your transforming acts.

Nudge us to witness to your goodness in the Great Assembly of the Earth!

Amen
