Good morning, Jesus.
Lord, since You were willing to redeem me by sacrificing Yourself on the cross, shouldn’t I be willing to live my life for you? However, a battle rages for the loyalty of my soul. Forgive me. When I focus on temporary, earthly issues, I’m distracted from my commitment. Did You redeem me to give me an easy life, granting my every wish? Hardly! You redeemed me to make me like You, Jesus. You redeemed me so my life will point others to You. You redeemed me so I will trust You in all circumstances. That’s why I need Your Holy Spirit to help me “Not to be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of my mind with Your truths and precepts. Then I will know Your will” (Romans 12:2).
We pray Your divine protect and strength for the brave men and women still battling the wildfires ravaging the west. Bring an end to these fires. Our friends in the south are reeling from the back-to-back hurricanes. The flooding has devastated countless lives. May these destructions cease and help the people who are rebuilding their lives. For those who never gave you a second thought before now look to You for help and strength, and may You become everything and more that they have been seeking. Only You can bring good out of this destruction (Genesis 50:20).
Forgive our sins, heal our nation. May I stay conformed to You, Jesus. Amen.
THANKFUL
