Please set aside time each day to pray for 2-3 minutes. This week's prayer starter is:
Loving, forgiving God who cares for us so deeply: remind us this week of all the great gifts you have given us in this life. Let us not forget that you designed us a certain way and that your commands are meant to help us live into that design.... Let us also not forget your gift of grace offered to us in Jesus Christ...
