SUMMARY SENTENCE

PRAYER
Glorious God, thank you for life! There is so much that could fill my life with joy. However, I confess that I allow the negativity I encounter to drag me down. It just feels like I'm important when I complain and grip about everything. Renew my spirit again so that I'm basking in the joy that comes with living life in communion with you. Even though there are tough times I'm not going to let them drag me down because I'm trusting in you. 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.
