A PRAYER
LORD, God you are our heavenly Father Who has everything under control. We ask for forgiveness of our sins; committed knowingly and unknowingly, as we forgive those who sinned against us. We praise You for what You have done in and through our lives. And yet, because of an unwarranted fear, we sometimes feel as if we are just standing on the sidelines while all Your goodness passes us by: we feel trapped in the confusion and condition of this world. But LORD we know that it is all an illusion, brought to us by the devil to keep our focus off of Your commandments and promises. LORD, HELP US TO STOP SITTING ON THE SIDELINE OF OUR LIFE IN FEAR AND ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF OUR PARTICIPATION: LET US BE HEALED IN MIND, HEART, BODY, AND SOUL SO THAT WE CAN LIVE A LIFE WORTH LIVING. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
