Thought for Today: "Dare to err and to dream. Deep meaning often lies in childish plays." — Friedrich von Schiller, German author (1759-1805).

“A Prayer Of Faith”

Father, we read of Your supernatural workings throughout the Bible and we’ve witnessed it over the years as we’ve seen miracles of Your healing and saving power in the lives of others.  We’ve also experienced it personally as You’ve saved us from our sins and set us on an eternal journey of giving praise and thanksgiving to You for all Your wondrous works.  When we lose sight of Your miraculous deeds in the daily grind of life and in the circumstances that baffle or discourage us help us to remember that You are a God of the impossible, nothing is too complex or broken that You cannot fix. You delight in us as we put our hope in Your unfailing love and miraculous power. We give thanks to You through Jesus in whose name we pray.  Amen.
