When God responds to the prayers of the destitute he does so wholeheartedly.

PRAYER
Gracious God, you never seem to grow tired of listening to us — even when our prayers are poorly thought out and shaped by our agendas rather than yours. Yet, in spite of your relaxed posture, we've turned prayer into an obligation and ordeal. Help me to worry less about the forms my prayers take and my prayer track-record. I'm simply going to focus on staying in touch. Amen!
Our Father in Heaven,
We hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening there.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil.
Amen!
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.

Amen!
