Jesus, Friend and Teacher, You ask us,

“Who do you say that I am?” Thank you for inviting us

To know you more each day.

Quiet our minds To hear your word; Open our hearts

To love you more; For the more we know you,

The more brightly we reflect you.

You meet us in our every need, Your love, new each day!

Guide us as we build your kingdom, And find our home in you;

For you are the Lord, The face of God,

And the breath of the Holy Spirit. Amen
