Father, our hearts rejoice because you have set us free! Amen

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. (ESV)

Jesus, you are source of all life and we will stay connected to you so that we will bear the fruit of your Spirit. Amen

God, only you are righteous and we will be glad and sing your praises! Amen

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (ESV)

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.  But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. (ESV)

God, all wisdom comes from you so we ask you to strengthen our faith so that we will never doubt your goodness.

Jesus, thank you for giving your Holy Spirit who lives in us and helps us to do your will in our lives. Amen
