Dear God, this is why I haven’t deleted Facebook from my life. Well, things like this. Saturday night I heard a nice message from President George W. Bush that a friend shared on Facebook. Then when I woke up this morning, I found this blessing shared by another friend.

Father, bless us and keep us. Turn your face towards us and shine on us. Give us peace. And bring us to repentance, starting with your church. Help us, the church—your church—then humbly lead others into your loving presence.

In Jesus’s name I pray,

Amen
