PRAYER

IPAD PROGRAM PARENT INFORMATION SESSION PRAYER OVER A NEW IPAD Bishop Robert Finn Loving God and Father, source of all good and knowledge, we praise you for your loving kindness shown to us through your Son Jesus Christ who became flesh and dwelt among us and through your Holy Spirit poured forth into our hearts. Grant that this new iPad may be used in service to you and all truth. May it be an instrument that serves to lift up and not to tear down. May inappropriate material, hatred or any other such evil never appear on this screen. May I and all who use this iPad do so with purity of heart and free from all evil. May my work on this iPad serve to glorify your name and build up your kingdom. Lead us through this life to share in the perfect love and joy you share with Jesus Christ your Son our Lord and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen.
