We enter your sacred prayer space. We sometimes forget you always have your eyes on us, watching with love and hoping we will make wise decisions. You remind us to come to you in this space before presenting ourselves to those who live by law, commands, and punishment.
Today, we invite you to reread, rest, and reflect on the prayers of the past week.
