We praise You, O God for Your great mercy and grace. You have forgiven us much, more than we could ever imagine, and way beyond our desert.

This by Your grace and through Your Holy Spirit we ask in the Name of Jesus. Amen!...  Read More

This we ask in Jesus' Name and for His sake. Amen!...  Read More

Why would we wonder about Your desire to meet us at our point of deepest need? Help us to see ourselves as Your image-bearers. Help us to understand Your perfect, loving care for us. Help us to see ourselves as You do. Help us to trust Your answ...  Read More

You, Lord Jesus, have taught us to pray to our Abba Father that His Kingdom may come here and now (Matthew 6:9-13). Then You called us to seek that Kingdom first and always (Matthew 6:33).
