Heavenly Father,
We are conscious of so many things that make us strong:
The hills and lochs and everything that lives and breathes;
The bonds of love within our families and amongst our friends;
The gifts we see in others that show the goodness in living;
The daily access we have to food and clean water and shelter.
But we are most grateful for your Word:
Sustaining us in our most challenging days;
Inspiring us to reach for the best in life;
Revealing Jesus to us and bringing the assurance of forgiveness and renewal.
Let that Word feed our souls today and take us forward in a spirit of hope.
