those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh
with
its passions and desires.

PRAYER (unison)
Gracious God who has
the power to create the whirlwind and the wisdom to speak to us in the still, small
voice, we ask that you bring your love to us today. Fill us with the strength
to set our faces towards you and to walk by your Spirit. In our failures and in
our accomplishments, be with us, care for us, comfort and confront us with your
love and grace. Through the power of the Spirit we pray the prayer your Son
taught us, sayingÉ
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 debts,
as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.
