God of Heaven and Earth, we give thanks for all the ways in which you reveal yourself to us in both ordinary and extraordinary ways.

Polls: A Harris Poll finds that while a strong majority (74 %) of U.S. adults do believe in God, this belief is in decline when compared to previous years when over four in five (82%) expressed a belief in God. A belief in Heaven also declined from 75% to 68%. A Pew Research Center Poll reveals that 65%
who claim a religious affiliation think many religions, not just their own religion, can lead to eternal life. Or to put it another way, heaven is not a gated community. (Harris Interactive)

Miracle Worker, open our hearts, minds, and souls to people of all religions. Teach us tolerance of all beliefs about God and Heaven. If heaven is not a gated, neither should our hearts be closed.
