PRAYER
Protector Lord, thank you for being the firm foundation upon which I can stand. Forgive me when my foolish rebellion leads me away. I sink in the quicksand of the world and troubles overwhelm me. Your mighty power frees me from the grasp of the world. Help me live a victorious life of service grounded in your strength. 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.
