Blessed God, All Seasons Are a Season to Draw Near to You

Blessed God, all seasons are a season to draw near to you. Every moment of our lives—easy or hard, restful or busy—each is a moment ready for you. So, make us ready, dear God, more ready to notice you, to experience you, to turn to you, to welcome your presence. Help us to be honest about our faults, sincere in our repentance, and committed to fulfilling our purpose. In this summer season, refresh us with your wisdom. Guide us with your power. Renew us with your Spirit. Awaken us again to you, our God. We are yours. Make us yours, in action and intention. Amen.
