the Lord made them both.

Awesome God, I enjoy the divine suprises you've created in my life. Forgive me for missing some of them because I'm too busy or too set in my expectations regarding your mode of operation.

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 in heaven.
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 will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
