My Prayer:
We take comfort Oh God of all, that you are so far beyond us.  Your awesome being is in control, and we are at peace.  We wonder as we trust.  We see your might and power and order in all.  There is none like you.  Thank you for the wonder of Jesus Christ, his death, burial and resurrection.  Your grace, mercy and love is awesome toward us.  May we praise your name forever.          In the name of Jesus               Amen
