 Let's pray together. Awesome God, we thank you for the gift of scripture. We know that at times it can feel confusing or hard or overwhelming. Help us to use it as a tool, knowing that it's meant to connect us with you and with one another. Help us to be patient and flexible, adjusting our plans to whatever works best to grow in faith. Guide us in being a light, living out who you call us to be as your people. It's in your name that we pray.
