Good morning, Jesus.
Lord, we look to you this morning for guidance and godly wisdom so we may live this day in ways that please you. Give us your grace when we deal with people, whether they directly impact our life or not. From the guy with the man-bun behind the drive-thru window, to the driver distracted by his phone while entering the freeway, to the annoying coworker who lets what little authority they have go to their head, may we show your kindness to all. Let us live in unity with our fellow Christ-followers (Psalm 133:1). We may not agree exactly on doctrines, but we share the same theology that we have salvation and new life only in you, Lord Jesus.
This life is a spiritual journey. Many do not know you, or sadly, have the wrong impression of you. Most think you are an angry and vengeful God, ready to bop all on the head fall out of line, whatever that may be. Nothing is further from the truth. Help us reveal who you really are to those you bring into our world. As your followers, let your light shining within us reflect your love and relentless grace. Many poor souls live in depression, guilt, shame, burdened by their mistakes and bad life choices, desperate for a new start in life. The enemy of their soul adds to their mental anguish, reminding them of their wasted life. You gave each of your followers this “offer of your reconciliation of the lost back to you” (2 Corinthians 518) message. Just as when we heard this redemptive message and came to you, help us share this message with those seeking purpose and meaning. Our prayer is our life will be a true reflection of who you are, the God of mercy and grace and reconciliation.
Protect our precious children. Bless their teachers and all who you have placed over them. Station warrior angels around each school campus so that evil will never gain an opening to attack our kids physically, emotionally or spiritually.
Forgive our sins, heal our nation, begin a spiritual renewal in each of us.
Desiring to show your love in all we do, Jesus, amen.
THANKFUL
