the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting, Amen.

“Our Loving Heavenly Father, You alone are the Creator and Sustainer of all things. It is our great privilege to live under your omnipotence, righteousness, wisdom, mercy and grace. You love us better than any we could ever know here on earth, and we stand in awe of your power and commitment to cherish us.

We place our hope in our own talents and abilities, in relationships with people we admire and love, in our jobs and good health, in our economic value and academic abilities. Forgive us, we pray, for the sin of pride and unbelief and cause us to see that all of our hope is found in who You are and in what You have done.
