Most Merciful Lord, as a sinner I was a disappointment to You because You gave me life with a purpose.

Most Forbearing Lord, You use the words “adopted” and “sonship” and “co-heir” to describe the relationship between man and God. As a “child”, I became a full heir to our Father’s estate.

Most Understanding Lord, today’s environment is like a river flowing fast and furious, pulling down everything in its path. It would be easy to float along with the current … going with the flow.
