Pray with me:
Our gracious heavenly King, you created us in your own image. Help us today to believe what you say about us. We are who you say we are: chosen, not forsaken, loved by you. Thank you for the privilege of being your servant today. Help us to receive it well, even if somebody treats us like a servant today. In the name of the One who did not come to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom, we pray. Amen.
