Imagine yourself in the embrace of the Lord. Feel the warmth, the love, the acceptance, and the life emanating within and around you. Breathe a sigh of contentment. Begin.

Sirach 39:33

The works of God are all of them good; every need when it comes he fills.

This verse draws our attention to the goodness of all that God creates and does; it also reminds us that God fills our needs as they arise. Every day presents real opportunities to encounter the gift of God's goodness. They can be found in the world around us and in our relationships with others. Turning to God in prayer, we can trust that God will fill us with what we need.

How can I become more aware of God's goodness today?

In what ways am I trusting God to guide my life and to provide what I need?

(Pray to God, using these words or words of your own.)

God of all good things, let all that is within me give you praise. Help me to be aware of your goodness and all the ways you fill my needs.
