HEAVENLY FATHER, THANK YOU FOR THESE TEACHING MOMENTS FROM JESUS. THANK YOU FOR OUR SAVIOR. WE LOVE HIM, AND WITH EACH AND EVERY DAY, WE WANT TO HONOR HIM AND SERVE HIM. WE PRAY THAT EVERY HEART HERE WILL BE DRAWN TO HIM WHO IS THE CHRIST. YOU GIVE US THE WISDOM OF KNOWING JESUS AS LORD AND SAVIOR. HE IS THE ONE WHO CAME INTO THE WORLD TO GIVE HIS LIFE FOR SINNERS. IN HIS NAME WE PRAY. AMEN.
