> Precious Servant, Almighty King, thank you for coming to our

> MY PRAYER...
> Eternal God, Almighty Father, Tender Shepherd, you already

> by the fact that you choose to know me. Thank you! In Jesus

> MY PRAYER...
> Father, I confess to you that I sometimes lose sight of how

> deeper reverence and appreciation of your presence in me.

> MY PRAYER...
> Master, teach me to recognize your opportunities and will
