The 13th Sunday after Pentecost
PSALM 22:19 (CEV)
Don't stay far away, LORD!
My strength comes from you,
so hurry and help.
1 JOHN 5:15 (CEV)
We know God listens when we pray...
SUMMARY SENTENCE
We know God is present and listening.
PRAYER
God, some of my frustration in life comes from the fact that people don't listen to me enough. I mean, really listen. Thank you for being around to listen to me -- even when I don't make a lot of sense. Help me to recognize that this is enough to press forward in life without frustration. I'm looking forward to our future conversations. 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.
