Help us to learn from scripture and from one another your will for our lives so that with your help we can claim the inheritance of unlimited freedom which you have willed to us through your son. You came to our world in Jesus. Come now to us. C

God does care about us and sent Jesus Christ to us, and for us Jesus gave his life. Anyone who is in Christ is a new creature. Old things have passed away and all things are new.
