God of all, I offer praise and thanksgiving for Your ever-present love and mercy. May I stay aware of Your presence in my everyday life, so that I may see Your face in all people, and hear Your voice in all circumstances. Grant me the wisdom and courage to pause and hear Your whisper of love in the ordinary and the extraordinary moments of my life. May Your Grace and Spirit be reflected in my thoughts, words, and actions. Amen.
