“Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.” ~Hermann Hesse

Prayer

Loving Creator,

You formed each of us in your image, calling us to live with honesty, courage, and authenticity. When we embrace who we truly are, we step into the freedom of your love and reflect the beauty of your creation. Help us to honor that same authenticity in others, welcoming the rich diversity that surrounds us. May we celebrate the differences that make our world vibrant and whole. In thanksgiving we pray. Amen.
