SUMMARY SENTENCE
Christ came with words that we need to hear.
PRAYER
God of peace and wisdom, thank you for speaking to us. I'm sorry that I too easily tune you out in order to tune into the static generated by the world in which we live. I need to hear what you are saying. I need it all to sink in and change my life. I need you to help me focus on what you're saying because I'm unable to do it on my own. Wrap your loving arms around me and whisper into my ear the words of wisdom and peace that I desperately need. I ask this in the name of Christ Jesus the Living Word. Amen.
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.
