Ending Prayer
None of us is a great Christian; rather, we are all very small Christians. But your grace is sufficient for us.
Awaken us to the small joy and thankfulness that we are capable of, the timid faith that we bring, the incomplete obedience that we cannot refuse – to the hope in the greatness, wholeness, and completeness that you have prepared for us in the death of our Lord, Jesus Christ and that you have promised to us in his resurrection from the dead.
- Karl Barth
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
