GOD AT WORK!

The 5th Sunday after Pentecost

JEREMIAH 18:6 (CEB)
Like clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in mine...

PHILIPPIANS 2:13 (CEB)
God is the one who enables you both to want and to actually live out his good purposes.

SUMMARY SENTENCE 
Don't overlook the fact that despite some hardships God is busy working out his plan for us and you.

PRAYER 
Glorious God, it is so easy to overlook the fact that you have a plan that you're working out. I focus so much attention on my own plans that I get frustrated with the way things are going. Help me to relax and to trust that you are the master planner. Help me to further align my personal plans with what I know of yours. I want to live according to your agenda. 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.
