Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus

What words stay with you?

Including for others on a journey meeting with God

O Living LORD,
I read these words.
Help me let the Holy Spirit work out these truths
Even today.
May you guide and bless others
At this time in their lives
As one and another are born again!
Amen – we pray together.

Thank you God for sending Jesus
Thank you Jesus that you came
Holy Spirit may others hear of Him this day

Living LORD, hear our evening prayers and receive our praise
As we believe and trust in you

For the world we live in
And all those sent to tell others in far corners
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
