OPEN BOOKS

PSALM 139:1-2 (MSG)
GOD, investigate my life;
   get all the facts firsthand.
I’m an open book to you;
   even from a distance, you know what I’m thinking.
You know when I leave and when I get back;
   I’m never out of your sight.

ACTS 17:28 (CEV)
In God we live, move, and exist.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Our lives are open books to God.

PRAYER
It's scarey to think, God, that I can't hide anything from you. But it's also reassuring to realize that you know everything that is happening to me. I'm not having to deal with this stuff alone. You know and you're involved -- loving, caring, protecting. Forgive me for living in denial -- as though I'm a lone warrior on whose shoulders the fate of the universe rests. I'm going to embrace your intimacy. 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.
