Forgive us for being weighted down with cares and bound up in our sin. remind us to lift our eyes up in preparation of your coming & forgive us for our sin, oh God: cares of this world and today’s worries.

Hebrews 12:1 (NLT)

God’s Discipline Proves His Love
12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.

A harvest in North America
