Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to
be still before God.
Opening Prayer: Speak, O Lord, as we come to You, to receive
the food of Your holy word. Take Your
truth, plant it deep in us; shape and fashion us in Your likeness, that the
light of Christ might be seen today, in our acts of love and our deeds of
faith. Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us
all your purposes, for Your glory. (Speak O Lord by Stuart Townend,
Keith Getty)
Scripture Reading for the Day: Matthew 3:13-17
Reading for Reflection:
Prayer is creating a
sacred space where you can be overwhelmed with God’s uncompromising love and
acceptance. (Living in God’s Embrace by Michael Fonseca)
It is the voice of the
Spirit within us that reminds us that we, too are the Beloved. If we listen closely, we will hear these
words of love. (Embracing the Love
of God by James Bryan Smith)

Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Closing Prayer: Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom
fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of
life is past; safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last. (Jesus
Lover of My Soul by Charles Wesley)
