Scripture

2 Corinthians 5.11-21

Time of Reflection and Prayer

Spend time reflecting on what you have read and communing with God.

Benediction

I pray, O God, that your life-wind would blow afresh through my life; I pray that who I am–my mind, body, soul, and spirit–would receive your presence; I pray that the breath of your Spirit would rest on me; I pray that my life would then be your living exhale in this community: caring for those who cannot help themselves, speaking for those whose voices are not heard, and standing for what is pure, just, and loving.
