God, to you all hearts are open, all desires are known, and from you no
secrets are hid. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration
of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily
magnify your holy name. Forgive us when our confidence in you is shaken
by the circumstances and mysteries of life. Forgive us for not sharing
your love and the gifts you give so freely. Open our eyes to see you
that we might trust you and live by your strength and
power. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Psalm 104 (Selected) Leader: Praise the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, you are very great; People: You are clothed with splendor andmajesty. Leader: He wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent. People:
He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind.
Leader: He sets the earth on its foundation; it can never be moved. People: He makes springs pour water into the ravines; it flows between the mountains. Leader: He gives water to the beasts of the field, and wild animals quench their thirst. People:
The birds of the air nest by the waters; they sing among the branches.
Leader: The moon marks off the seasons, and the sun knows when to go
down. People: The sun rises, then people go out to their work, to labor
until evening. Leader: How many are your works, O Lord! In wisdom you made them all. People: May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works. Leader: I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. People: May my meditation be pleasing to Him as I rejoice in the Lord. Praise the Lord!
