In these blue sky, wild aster and goldenrod days, we gladly give you our praise. You are Lord of all seasons: you have saved us and called us to a holy purpose. You are present, carrying us through uncertainty, worry and fear, replacing our anxiety with peaceful inner calm. Holy God, kindle fire under our mustard seed faith, toast it to enhance it. Empowered, we begin again as your disciples, performing simple expressions of faith in ordinary, daily practices of service. We wait for you, Lord, fill us with your spirit of power and love. Amen.
