" But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man,  how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ,  overflow to the many!" Romans 5:15 Dear Jesus, Through you we have been saved! Through you, we have life eternal! Through you, we have freedom from fear! Thank you for the salvation that you so freely gave through your grace. May we always be grateful for the sacrifice you gave freely for us. Lord Jesus, you lived and died and rose again for us, may we remember all that you did for us and do for others in such a giving way. You have blessed us with much, so let us give to others a portion of what you have given to us. Help us be generous with our time, talents and resources. Lord of the universe, please be with all of the flood  victims in Texas. May the rain stop and the waters recede. Keep those affected safe. Keep the first responders safe and in your care.

"Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It’s God’s gift from start to finish! We don’t play the major role. If we did, we’d probably go around bragging that we’d done the whole thing! No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing." Ephesians 2:7-10 MSG Dear Father, We know that in all things, You have great plans for us. The greatest plan for us is the salvation you brought to us through your Son, Jesus. Thank you for the saving grace that brings us to eternity with you and that it is freely given! God your Word says, "We don't play the major role." Help us step back and let You take the lead. Lead us

Dear Father, Thank you for a week where the teachers of St. John's come back to campus! As we eagerly begin to prepare for school on Friday, may we first start with you. Help us to focus only on you as we thinking about how best to share your message with them. Lord God, help us to reach those who have not yet heard the sweet message of your saving grace. Our world is in such need for your Son Jesus. May St. John's be a light to the world and a beacon of hope to our community Father, be with our teachers and their families as they transition back into the routine of school. May their hearts be filled with joy, peace and patience as school beginnings can be kind of crazy. Send your peace over our families and let your power and grace abound in and through us! We pray this all in your holy and precious name. Amen!
