I Need:

Ask God for your daily needs, for what you need TODAY . . .  bread, shelter . . . and pray with thanksgiving.  Thank God as he supplies our needs. 



Sin:  Our Sins

We are to ask forgiveness of our sins as we are to forgive those who sin against us so that God can forgive our sins.

Temptation:

We pray to God our Lord to make sure we do not get entrapped in this world; and lead ME not, lead US not into temptation and deliver us from evil.
