Prayer Offered for February 12, 2024

For the expanding grandeur of Creation, we give thanks this day.

For this fragile planet, Earth, we give thanks this day.

For the joy of human life, its wonders and surprises, we give thanks this day.

For our human community, our oneness transcending all separation, we give thanks this day.

For faith without fanaticism, for understanding of views not shared, we give thanks this day.

For all who have labored and suffered for a fairer world, we give thanks this day.

For opportunities to change and grow, to affirm and choose, we give thanks this day.

We pray that we may live, not by our fears, but by our hopes, not by our words but by our deeds.—AMEN.

_{(Reverend O. Eugene Pickett, Unitarian Universalist)}
