Lord God, creator of all things, we again come                                
thanking You for Your goodness and asking for                                  
Your help. Keep us from our natural tendency of                                
pride, thinking we can live without You. Give us                               
the moral courage to let our lives be judged by                                
Your word instead of putting ourselves up as judges                            
over what You say.                                                             
                                                                               
We can with confidence let You be God to us                                   
because of the love You have shown us in Christ.                               
So, we ask again for Your wisdom that we may                                   
know and follow Your heart in our decisions today.                             
We thank You for delighting in us and answering                                
our prayers.                                   Amen.
