Patient Father, who encourages us to grow and live well, help us to give up our foolish habits and destructive ways that we might take on your life of love and peace and justice, through Jesus our savior, who sacrificed himself for our sake and was exalted to the highest place at your right hand in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘The night is far gone; the day is near. Let us then throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.’ – Rom. 13:12
