Lord, we know that when we
were babies you met our needs. We did nothing for your care, absolutely
nothing. In love, you gave us everything we needed.
As we grew older, we learned
you gave us freedom and we turned our backs on you. But, in love, you still
gave us everything we needed.
Grant us a second
innocence—the innocence of infancy with the freedom of childhood—so we may know
you not in ignorance but in thoughtful wonder.
Make us mindful that everything
we have comes from your hand and may we be thankful to return to you that which
you have given to us—our whole lives.
As we give, help us be still
in dependence like infants and, as your children, may we know through worship that
you are God and there is no other.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
