SUMMARY SENTENCE
There is no end to what God is doing for us.
PRAYER
God of fullness, forgive me for always trying to hold onto the wrong things. I grasp and grab but end up empty-handed. But you have not let go of me. You bless me, with grace upon -- and beyond -- grace. Teach me to unclench my fists and reach out to you with open, expectant hands. Fill me again today, Lord. Amen. (Daily Texts, Mount Carmel Ministries edition)
