Dear God, You created us for fellowship with You.
We are designed to walk with You and delight
in Your ways. But every day, we choose not to do
that. We choose to go our own way. We put up a
sign on our heart: Keep Out. You could just let us
wander off. You could see that sign and turn away.
But You don’t. You seek after each one of us, and
You sent Your Son, Jesus, among us to call us back.
Back to a full, open and loving relationship with You.
Back home. Help us respond to that call. Help us
turn away from ourselves and toward You. We are
awestruck at this amazing gift You offer-life with
You, forever. It is hard to comprehend such a gift.
All we can do is touch it at the edges. But where
knowledge fails, faith and love succeed. Give us
faith in Your Saving Power. And thank You for the
Love that rescues us. In the name of Your Son, our
Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
Amen
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our
daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we
forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us
not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom,
and the Power,
and the Glory,
now and forever.
Amen.
