I think we live in a pluralistic society where we have to get along with each other and show common grace to each other.

Help us, oh God, to remember that we are Americans. United not by race or religion or by blood, but to our commitment to freedom and justice for all. When we focus on ourselves, when we fight each other, when we forget you, forgive us.

God's mercy to us is the motivation for showing mercy to others. Remember, you will never be asked to forgive someone else more than God has forgiven you.

We are only fully alive when we're helping others

If you prayed as much as you worry, you'd have nothing to worry about.

God is the Father who is full of mercy. God is the Father who is full of comfort. That is the kind of relationship he offers to you.

Surrender is not the best way to live; it is the only way to live. Nothing else works.
