PRAYER
Gracious God, I'm grateful that I can turn to you during times of special need. You aren't ever far away, even though because I'm caught up in my own world, you sometimes feel distant. Nurture our relationship so that leaning into your presence is second nature—whether I'm the one in need of help or you want to help someone else through me. I want to be operating in the power and presence of the Lord. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
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.
