THE APOSTLE PAUL REMINDS US IN THE BOOK OF GALATIANS THAT WHILE THAT SACRIFICIAL DEATH ON THE CROSS DOES INDEED SET US FREE FROM SIN, IT DOES NOT SET US FREE FROM EACH OTHER. PAUL TELLS US IN THAT BOOK THAT WE ARE TO SERVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE.
SO, GOD, I CAN'T THINK OF A MORE APPROPRIATE PLACE FOR US TO REMIND OURSELVES OF THAT SIMPLE TRUTH.
NOW, FATHER, HOLD US TIGHT TODAY AND THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT.
LET US KNOW THAT YOU ARE HERE WITH US, AND THAT AS WE CONDUCT THIS BUSINESS THAT YOU, FATHER, ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH YOUR KINGDOM WORK. GUIDE US FOR THOSE WHO WOULD LEAD US.
GIVE THEM THE INTESTINAL FORTITUDE TO BE COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PEOPLE THAT PUT THEM IN POWER, AND LET THOSE WHO PUT THEM IN POWER SUPPORT THEM WITH THEIR PRAYERS.
NOW BLESS US THIS DAY. WE PRAY THIS IN CHRIST'S PRECIOUS NAME.
