PRAYER
Heavenly Father, in this time of much gift giving, turn my eyes toward the greatest gift -- life and salvation through the gift of your Son, Jesus. I am rich because of your grace and mercy. Cause my life to overflow in forgiveness and love to others. Make me an advocate for all those in need; through Christ I pray. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)

THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
