Lord God,

As I look at the shape of the cross

Help me to reflect on the shape of this day,

All I have done and the people I have met.

As I look on the grain making its mark on the cross,

Help me to reflect what has marked this day,

Whether this is joy, love, sorrow, regret.

As I look and feel the cross resting in my palm,

Help me to reflect on my feelings of this day, and to give thanks for a special moment.

As I look at the shape of the cross,

Help me to know your love for me,and ask that you

be with me this night and in the day to come.

Amen.
