Long-suffering God,
we are a rebellious species,
from Aaron and the Israelites and their golden calf
right through
to the charges and counter-charges
suits and counter-suits we hear of each new day.
But this is a beautiful morning
and while I eat at the table you have prepared for me today
I will think on
things that are true, ____________
things that are honorable, _______
things that are just, __________
things that are pure, ___________
things that are lovely, __________
things that are gracious, _________
things that are excellent, __________
things that are worthy of praise. _________
I rejoice in you and your steadfast love
today and tomorrow and every day from now on.
