Let us remember to FIRST turn to You, our hope and stay. You offer comfort, peace, encouragement, and direction. With you we can have the confidence to face anything the world tries to throw at us. We praise your Holy Name and pray in Jesus’ name; AMEN

Dear Lord God, we know your commandments, passed down to us through Moses. There are times when we are unsure of the right thing to do, behavior not covered by your commandments. Help us to do what is right in your sight, by using love of others as our guide, as Jesus taught us, and as your Apostle Paul reminded us. Amen.
