PRAYER
Gracious God, I can't begin to comprehend the magnitude of the gift you've given us through the sacrifice of Christ Jesus. Forgive me for pretending that I have a handle on all that. Show me how to humbly receive your gift of freedom and new life without trying to be the expert on your generosity. I am, though, eager to share the good news of your gift with the whole world. 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.
