crafted the skies by his knowledge.

Why hasn't God given up on the world he created?
PRAYER
Thank you, Creator God, for the world in which we live. I confess, though, my frustration with the way things appear to be going. It's a mystery as to why you allow things to get so out of hand. Give me the wisdom to keep my whining mouth shut and the faith that you are working out all things according to the plan of Christ. I'm going to trust that you know what you are doing and that you are doing it. Amen.

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.
