- This Visual Liturgy by “The Work of the People” on give us this day our daily bread. If you’ve never used a visual liturgy before, it’s like having a liturgy service right where you’re sitting.

So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
(Romans 12 v 1-2, The Message)

I just wanted to leave a word of appreciation for this message. I am in northern Minnesota, but through a series of events, I came to listen to the “Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread” audio message, and it answered a question I have been wrestling with recently. God has been leading me away from a very religious, worry-filled, and frankly, Godless spiritual life into something deeper, more intimate and more trusting of him. This message spoke exactly to where I am living now. I praise God and I thank you very much.
