We give you our praise and thanks, O God, for all gifts of love we have received from you, and for your persistent mercy in Jesus Christ. Especially we thank you for
work we have accomplished pleasing to you...
the faithful witness of Christian people...
the example of righteousness we see in parents and teachers...
the innocence and openness we see in children...
all works of Christian compassion...
We give you our cares and concerns, O God, because we know you are kind and care for your children in every circumstance. Especially we pray for
those who struggle with doubt and despair...
people afflicted with disease...
those called to special ministries...
people neglected or abused...
Baptist, Disciples of Christ, and other free churches...
The Lord's Prayer
What am I afraid of? Reaching the end of my life with nothing to show? Never being able to integrate my private uniqueness with a communal pattern of thought, feeling, and living?
