Reshape the Clay of Our Lives--March 29, 2017

Lord Jesus, you will not drive away

anyone who comes to you.

Fill us with Holy Spirit

to dwell in us, giving

life to our mortal bodies.

Let your hands, O God, reshape the clay

of our lives, as may seem good to you,

and grant us courage and strength

and patience, as you work out

your gracious will for us.
