Activity vs. Apathy (apathy is lack of interest, enthusiasm or concern)
Doing vs. Despair (despair results in feeling overwhelmed)
four circles of service,

3) National (Country or Heritage Group - any group that identifies with a common denominator).

- Conclude by asking for what you need - rather than simply what you want. Keep in mind God’s will and make your requests align with God’s will (a parallel would be asking a friend for help with a problem you are dealing with).
An ending to the prayer that is not in the original Gospel accounts was added by the early second century. This is called the ______ (which is Greck for ‘words of praise’).
