You are the Master of time and all that time produces:
all created things,
all that sustain life,
all works, all gifts,
all callings,
and missions,
all history,
all institutions,
all laws,
all righteousness,
all that is beautiful and true and good.
You are the Master of time past,
Governor of our present,
and Lord of our future.
You formed us in the womb.
You sanctify the ordinary experiences of each day,
duly surprising us with Your bounty and Your love.
O YHWH, our Elohiym,
You have given us talents and resources,
opportunities and benefits.
You dispense Truth and Wisdom
to all who have eyes to see and ears to hear.
For these and more, we give
YOU —
all thanks and praise.
[Traditional Invocation which opens the Baccalaureate Service of the University of the Cordilleras, Baguio City, Philippines. The original prayer does not identify by name, WHO the GOD is that is being prayed to in the context of a non-sectarian school with multi-faith constituents; we just added the Name of the God we worship in this post.
