Take a few minutes now with Father God to bring Him your worship and praise – for who He is – for what He has given you this week – for what He is doing in the lives of others.  Bring Him also your prayers for all affected and involved in the tragedy in London this week.

Our Father in heaven, receive our prayers of praise, have mercy we call out and hear our prayers.
