God shines brightly from Zion,
the most beautiful city.
Our God approaches,
but not silently...

PRAYER
Glorious God, you continue to interact with your creation. Thank you for settling in among us—one God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You've boldly announced your presence but I admit that there are days when in spite of your loud voice I'm not such a good listener. Help me to truly notice you and join your parade of presence. I'm grateful that you're near. 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 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.
