Pray your own words this morning to the LORD God as you come near to Him……..

In Jesus’ name. Amen and Amen.

Lord, hear our prayers and bless each and all real good we ask.

Reflect on the words written here – and what God is saying to you now.
Pray in response to this God who is the Judge of all

O LORD, hear our evening prayers as this day closes
As we return our thanks to You.
As we humbly confess our sins
As we lay all we are and have before You
And call out to you for our world
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
