Providence Prayer

My life, with all of its ups and downs,
I gently place into your hands,
Provident God.
My loved ones, those here and
those living in the fullness of
your life,
I gently place into your hands,
Provident God.
My daily work and all who come
into my life through it.
I gently place into your hands,
Provident God.
Our Church and all of the people
of God,
I gently place into your hands,
Provident God.
Our planet and our universe,
revelations of your love,
I gently place into your hands,
Provident God.
In your hands, may we learn to be
expressions of your Providence
today and always. Amen.
