Lord, today I thank you for surrounding me with people who are channels of your love, comfort, encouragement and blessings. I thank you for my family to provide a safe place for me. Thank you for dear friends who are my source of steady support. Thank you for mentors who inspire me with their walk and talk. Thank you for the gift of being connected to a community where I can grow in love, faith and grace. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
