Stir our hearts as we worship today that we might follow Jesus in freeing those who are bound: bound by illness, bound by poverty, bound by greed, bound by addiction, bound by loneliness, bound by anything that keeps them from being the person you see when you look upon them. We pray this in the name of Jesus who taught us to pray for your Kingdom saying, Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: for Thine is the Kingdom and the power, and the glory forever. Amen. *THE GLORIA PATRI...No. 36
