“How precious is your steadfast love, O God! All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings” (Psalm 36:7). Thank God for surrounding us with love and mercy on which we can rely.

O God, full of compassion, we commit and commit ourselves to you, in whom we live and move and have our being. Be the goal of our pilgrimage, and our rest by the way. Give us refuge from the turmoil of worldly distractions beneath the shadow of your wings. Let our hearts, so often a sea of restless waves, find peace in you, O God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
