Dear Kind and Gracious Heavenly Father,
We are grateful to gather together this day as Thy children. We thank Thee for the opportunity to come before Thee in humility, to quiet our hearts, and to turn our thoughts toward Thee and Thy Son, Jesus Christ.
We ask Thee to bless this meeting, that Thy Spirit may be with us as we worship together. Please help us to set aside distractions, burdens, and cares of the world, that we may be present in this sacred hour.
We are thankful for the gift of agency and for the invitation Thou hast given us to choose remembrance, covenant, and love. Help us to open our hearts to the messages that will be shared today, and to receive them according to our needs and understanding.
Please bless all who are gathered here, and those who are unable to be with us. Strengthen our desire to follow Thy Son, to honor our covenants, and to love one another as He loves us.
We dedicate this meeting unto Thee, and we do so with gratitude and reverence,
These things I say in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
