Dear Lord,
"Thank you for this new day, a gift from you. One more day to live for your Glory, not mine." Thank you for the words You speak to us and through us. Thank you for this peaceful morning. Thank you for this opportunity to know you more and to know each other more. Strengthen these bonds so that your love may pour out over our entire community. Open our eyes, soften our hearts. Give us strength, courage, and wisdom. In all areas of our lives may we live and breathe for You alone. May we listen to the desires of our hearts that come from You and act upon them in Your name.
Lord, it is only by Your grace that we are free from the darkness that binds us. We ask you to break those chains that keep us from wholly depending on You, and we thank you for always being there to answer our call. We love you.
Amen
