Briar Patch

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and the protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths of full enjoyment and basking in the warmth and beauty of Your Creation while never ceasing to be amazed at the wonders of it that we can witness in the tiny piece that we inhabit like a rabbit in a briar patch. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
