Lord,
As we step into the woods this season,
with the morning still and the world just waking,
watch over every hunter who walks the ridges and hollows.
Grant us steady feet on the trails,
clear minds in every moment,
and safe returns to the families who wait for us.
Let the woods come alive with the sound of gobbling at first light,
the drumming in the distance,
and the thrill that keeps our hearts young.
Bless the land, the wildlife, and the traditions we carry forward.
May we hunt with respect, patience, and gratitude
for every sunrise spent beneath the tall trees.
Keep us safe, let the turkeys be loud,
and the memories even louder.
Amen. 🦃🌄🌲
