On the palm of your hand you write my name, O God.
Through the pages of creation, my life unfolds.
In the chambers of your heart, I have a home, O God, where every cry is heard, every tear seen, every thanks whispered in the dark or morning is known to you.
And still, I am slow to thank, to ask, to trust.
O God, who is great and good, help me to pray.
Amen
