A Thought and a Prayer

      

         

A Prayer before Worship

Lord God – we give you thanks for all your gifts to us – for daily food – for health – for each breath we take – for freedom to choose – and for the gifts of your word, your power, and your love.   Our hearts are truly overwhelmed, O God, when we consider all that you are and how you have entrusted so much to us.   May we be worthy of that trust – may we be a people who are unafraid to live as fully and as richly as you want us to live.   In Christ’s name.  Amen.

A Bible Reflection for This Week

  

“See what love the father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are…Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is.   And all who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.”   1 John 3:1-3
