God, I recognize you as a God of growth and nurturing. Forgive me for the times when I forget to see the possibilities and focus instead on the limitations in life. Forgive me for the times when I am too tired or too busy to care for my growth and the growth of others. Please help me to grow more fully into your image.
God of seeds, help me to appreciate all that I am and all that I can be. I thank you for the young people in my life and the young people of my community. Please help me to cherish, nurture, and encourage all of them in ways that the gifts you have given me provide. Guide me in seeing the potential of even the smallest of seeds.
