Heavenly Father, You told us His name would be Jesus because He saves His people. That means You are the one who saves. Save me today from the dumb things I would do without You. Save me from being mean when I am tired. Save me from being a coward when somebody needs help. Help me be kind at school. Help me be brave on the playground. Save my friends. Save my family. Jesus, You are still saving us, just like You always have. Amen.
