Today's Prayer:
Oh Lord, we love you.
We praise you because you are holy and worth imitating.
Let the truth that you call us beloved children sink in throughout our day.
We have done nothing to deserve that title, yet you have given it so freely.
Let our status as beloved children transform our thoughts, words, and deeds.
Father, you know how easy it is for us to read your word and want to perform.
It is easy to read these verses and create a list of behaviors to avoid.
I pray today you begin to shape a new spirit in us.
Take away the impulse to perform and replace it with a deep desire in us to be light in dark places.
I ask that today that you fix our eyes on you –
in all of our moments, big and small.
You are worthy of our praise.
Amen.
