Reflection

“Shout joyfully to the Lord, all you lands; serve the Lord with gladness; come before the Lord with joyful song.” ~ Psalm 100:1-2

Prayer

Gracious God,

As vaccinations increase and as the process of returning to some degree of normalcy gains momentum, let us shout with joy to you, Lord, for your goodness. As we experience this joyful return, help us to remain mindful of those who died during this pandemic and their families and friends. May this past year strengthen our desire to cherish our loved ones and the shared activities that shape so much of living. Let us shout with joy to the Lord, full of gladness and thanksgiving. We make this prayer in the name of the God who is the source of our being. Amen.
