PRAYER
God, you are the great provider who delights in giving us full and wonderful lives. Forgive me for pursuing things that are inconsistent with what you in your wisdom offer. Help me to adjust my approach to life so that it is all about pursuing you and your idea of righteousness. This is my goal for life. 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.
