God of joy and love and laughter, guide your people on the way. Free us to receive your blessings, freely offered every day. Jesus came to share our journeys and to show where life is found. Loving you and all creation paves the path where joys abound. Bless our lives when all is changing, Holy Spirit, help us pray. Tune our ears to your vocation; teach new ways to rest and play. Bless our loving and our friendships and the new things we will learn. Draw us closer, give us insight; grant us wisdom to discern. Nature waits in eager longing that your will on earth be done. We your children yearn for freedom, joy and life for everyone. Though we suffer pain and hardship, all these things cannot compare to the glory that is coming: life restored for all to share.
