Teach us, O God, creator, that nothing is necessary to you. Were anything necessary to you, that thing would be the measure of your imperfection: and how could we worship you if you were imperfect? You are perfect. This is hard for me to understand, but I trust it. If nothing is necessary to you, then none of us are necessary either, not even me, my friends and family. But, you do seek us even though you don't need us. Wow! Thank you for longing to be with us. We seek you because we need you desperately, for in you we live and move and have our being. All things come from you and return to you. Today I worship you. Amen.
