PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION
Bountiful God, you have blessed us with so many gifts.
In this time of worship, may we be open to receiving these gifts.
Help us claim our gifts and use them to bring liberation and justice
to a hurting world. AMEN
19:2 Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge.
19:3 There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard;
19:4 yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In the heavens he has set a tent for the sun,
19:5 which comes out like a bridegroom from his wedding canopy, and like a strong man runs its course with joy.
19:6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them; and nothing is hid from its heat.
19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the decrees of the LORD are sure, making wise the simple;
19:8 the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is clear, enlightening the eyes;
19:9 the fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
19:10 More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey, and drippings of the honeycomb.
19:11 Moreover by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
19:12 But who can detect their errors? Clear me from hidden faults.
19:13 Keep back your servant also from the insolent; do not let them have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.
19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

ABUNDANT HEALTH
Mind Cycle
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Colossians 3:2 (NIV)
The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel determines the way you act. If you want to change any behavior, you must start by challenging unhealthy perspectives. A key tool is to train your brain to replace negative thoughts (rather than resisting them) with positive ones. It takes practice, and it takes truth.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
Holy God, we sometimes feel we can stay as an island, protected and guarded, and still be faithful to you. Then you remind us that we are part of one body in Christ and that every part, from the greatest to the least, is important to the whole. So as we give our gifts this morning, we are reminded that our generosity strengthens us and the whole body, here and in the farthest parts of the globe. Amen.
