Devotion – 7/3/2020

Devotion from …
Pastor Lou Strugala, NJSP Chaplain 
— friend of Pastor Denise


“Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil..”  ~ Jesus of Nazareth
 
“Teach us to pray”
 
Jesus’ followers had a simple request, and from that request we have a prayer that has lasted centuries all over the earth. Simple, yet complex.  
 
You see, this prayer shows clearly our inter-dependence on God’s providence to achieve a true independence from the trials and evils of this world. Reliance on God provides the strength to work together to achieve a freedom like no other. 
 
As we celebrate our freedoms in this great experiment called America, let us become even more aware of our dependence on one another and the positive results that occur when we work together in faith!
 
God Bless America!
 
Pastor Lou Strugala 
NJSP Chaplain
