Papa God everything before us is temporary. Even the days of our lives are numbered, so I praise and thank you for each new day in this land of the living. Father thank you for the blessings I’ve received and those still to come. Help me to appreciate that all I have is gift from you O God, to be used in service of all of your creation. Take away all selfishness, pride and arrogance that prevent me from using these gifts, including the gift of my faith. Instead, may I be an instrument of your grace, mercy and forgiveness for all your people. And when this temporary life is over O God, may I enjoy forever the pleasure of your company.
