Almighty God,

We thank You that Jesus lived and died for the purpose of our salvation.

He showed us the importance of time spent with You –

in prayer, in worship, and in Your word.

We pray that in our time with You, You would guide us to our purpose

and how we can take part in the work of Your kingdom.

May our lives be examples of Your love

that persuade others to seek You.

In Jesus’ holy name.

Amen.
