Father in heaven, hallowed be Thy name... You unite what has been divided. You restore what has been lost. Only in Your blood do You redeem what has fallen away. You bring hope where there is only despair. You offer healing upon the sick. You bestow riches upon the poor. Why then, do we seek other avenues and call them the real life? For You are the real life, and this world is only the test. Help us to rise to its challenge. Educate us in the ways we might overcome. Guide us and protect us. In Jesus' name, amen.
