Gracious God,
Our lives span but a moment in all eternity. In so many ways our sense of importance is an expression of our hubris. Please forgive our self-centeredness, we pray. In the midst of it all, however, You love us. You care for us and Your grace gives us meaning and purpose. May we use the time allotted to us to be Your faithful servants in the world. May our thoughts, words and deeds convey a trust in You. While eternity is a great mystery for us, may we receive a glimpse of it and that great cloud of witnesses who have gone before. In Jesus’ name we pray. AMEN.
