God of glory, who ever delights in every aspect of creation, teach us to rejoice as you do, taking joy in all things, that we might be a people who reflect your character and nature and enjoy the world that you have created for us, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit in perpetual glory, now and forever. Amen. ‘Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.’ – Phil. 4:4
