How grateful we are, O lord, our Creator, that you have given us life. As the trees burst forth from their winter slumber, awaken us to the renewal that is ours when we receive from your hand the gifts of this season.
As the deer longs for water, so our souls seek refreshment from their deepest thirst. Quench our desires with the assurance that from you alone flows all the blessing we require for this day.
As deep calls to deep, so we call to you, who by day bestow your steadfast love and by night offer us the solace of your tender care.
Our help and our God, we offer ourselves and our prayers to you. Amen.
Psalm 42:1–2,7
Don’t bother much about your feelings. When they are humble, loving, brave, give thanks for them; when they are conceited, selfish, cowardly, ask to have them altered. In neither case are they you, but only a thing that happens to you. What matters is your intentions and your behavior.
—C.S. Lewis
