Faithful
Father of all children, as American Baptist we are all ministers of the Gospels
in Your Name, teaching a common, simple belief in Jesus Christ. Through Jesus,
we know that God is Real, God is With Us, God is Strong, God is Awesome, and
that God is in Charge. Help us to keep these truths before us as we contemplate
Your Presence in our lives, now and forever, Amen.
