Good morning, Jesus.
Lord Jesus, You are in the people business. Your specialty is putting broken people back together better than they can imagine (2 Corinthians 5:17). I’m one for sure. When You make us new You also completely erased our sins from our account. Yet, after all You’ve done for me, why does my struggle with self-centeredness remain? Lord, I’m a stubborn critter, wanting to hold on to broken places in my life that You are saying, “Give them to Me.” As a work in progress until I’m with You forever in Heaven, help me surrender every area of my life to Your Holy Spirit so that I might live as You intended and influence other broken people to seek You.
Only You, Lord God, can bring healing and calm to the racial and political unrest in Minneapolis. Your heart is broken too over the tragic death of George Floyd. Watching the video make our blood boil over the apparent injustice. Bless and comfort the family and friends of this man. May cooler heads prevail and bring an end to the rioting and damage to innocents. Let true justice be done in this case and use this tragedy to bring people to You. RIP George Floyd.
Forgive our sins, heal our nation. In this broken world, You are our hope, Lord Jesus. Amen.
