Living Sacrifice

"  Therefore, I urge you,  brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice,  holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.   2  Do not conform  to the pattern of this world,  but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is —his good, pleasing  and perfect will." Romans 12: 1-2 Father, God: Your mercy is abundant in our lives and we are thankful for your goodness and love. We praise and thank you for your care in our lives. May your great name every be exalted! Although you are an awesome God, we fall short. Forgive us our shortcoming, Father. May we continue to live in the love your Son and always seek you when we succeed and when we fail. Thank you Father for your kindness and goodness to us. You have blessed us in so many ways.

Prosper in the Lord

"Blessed is the one      who does not walk  in step with the wicked or stand in the way  that sinners take      or sit  in the company of mockers, 2  but whose delight  is in the law of the  Lord ,      and who meditates  on his law day and night. 3  That person is like a tree  planted by streams  of water,      which yields its fruit  in season and whose leaf  does not wither—      whatever they do prospers. 4  Not so the wicked!      They are like chaff      that the wind blows away. 5  Therefore the wicked will not stand  in the judgment,      nor sinners in the assembly  of the righteous. 6  For the  Lord  watches over  the way of the righteous,      but the way of the wicked leads to destruction." Psalm 1 Dear Father and Lord of all, We are ever-thankful that you watch over us in all circumstances and all times. You lead us and guide us. Through your loving care, you give us everything we need and we praise you for your care! We delight in your good

Let no one Fall

" It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall." Romans 14:21 Dear Father, You are the God of all people and all property for you created the universe! We are in awe of you and give you the glory. Since everything belongs to you, we can claim nothing as our own and give freely to our neighbors. We confess that we do not always give as we should nor do we always empathize with those that we should. Forgive our short-sighted vision and help us to always be thinking about how we can serve our neighbor. Thank you for always give us grace and forgiveness through Jesus! Jesus gave us the ultimate sacrifice and we praise you for that free gift of grace! Please continue to be with all of those who are sick. Bring them healing. Continue to be with those who are experiencing hardships of any kind. Bring them favorable conclusions. Be with St. John's Church and School that we might all bring more people to

Patience

" Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love." Ephesians 4:2 Dear Lord of All, You alone knit the universe together in all its splendor. You also created the smallest sands on the beach. We give you all the glory for your mighty splendor big and small! You are ever patience, slow to anger and filled with love. We are quick to react and fast to fury. Forgive our impatience and fill us with love and hope for you in your time. Thank you Father and Lord of All for the many gifts you give us each day. Thank you for the gift of an awesome school that proclaims your name to boldly! Please be with all those who are sick and feeling the strain of pain. Be with all of our students and parents as we continue to learn and grow this year. Be with our school as we continue to enroll and reenroll students. We give you all the glory! Amen!
