It is easy to get caught up
in the hectic pace of life.
Pressure to do more and be more,
buy more and see more,
comes form all sides.
Father, give me serenity, and help me
to hear Your voice above the noise.
Father, You are my rock, my strength,
and when I remember that,
everything falls into place
and my soul is at rest.

Dear Lord, we ask your blessing for this family
that we love and cherish.
Protect us from harm, shelter us from evil.
Teach us kindness. Show us compassion.
Guide our steps and we will follow the path
of goodness and light forever more.

Amen.
