Starters
Please set aside time each day to pray for 2-3 minutes. This week's prayer starter is:
God of Love, in Jesus you have demonstrated to us how to faithfully point out the errors of others. You have shown us how to be gracious in the most difficult of circumstances that others might come to accept your grace. Help me to stand firm in my faith. Where I would lash out or where I would remain simply passive, teach me your ways...
