God's will

Opening Prayer: Thank you, O Lord, that you are not trying to trick us.  Knowing your will is really not all that complicated.  You are not playing some cosmic game of hide and seek.  Nor are you are some tricky game-show-host-sort-of-God who is making us pick between door number one and door number two, knowing full well that disaster awaits the wrong choice.  Thank you that you don’t work like that.  All you ask is that we love you and follow you, and everything else will pretty much fall into place.

Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

1 thessalonians 5:16-17

in case you

ever wonder

what God’s will

for you is

here you go

be joyful always

pray continually

give thanks 

in all circumstances

all the rest

is peripheral

Prayer

Closing Prayer: Lord Jesus. Thank you that ultimately your will is that we love you and follow you.  It is not all that complicated.  Help us to do the things that help us to be the people you desire us to be.  Amen.
