How would you describe your relationship with Jesus at this time?
What is your response to God’s written Word today?

To love you
As we ought
In Jesus’ name, Amen

O LORD, have mercy and hear our prayers we ask this day.

Reflect on the words you have read and then pray in response – to this God, our God

LORD God, our God, God of perfect love, hear the evening prayers of your people
For we are indeed in need of your help in this world
