Lord God Almighty, who has watched your creation from its birth until the present and will watch until you bring it to completion, grant us long and pleasant lives, that we would enjoy the work you have given us to do and spend our days in gratitude and praise for your goodness, through Jesus our savior, who lives with you and the Holy Spirit in perpetual light. Amen.
‘They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat, for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.’ – Isa. 65:22
