"A Reminder: God Is Our Refuge" 

O God our creator, in every age you are our refuge. We are reminded today that our life is like a passing shadow. Lord Jesus, grant us the eyes of faith to see you as the Light of the World in every age, and to know you as our refuge and our strength. Jesus, you came among us to show us the promise of eternal life. Show us this day how to live so that eternal life will be ours.

Amen.
