Father of mercy and
might, help me see your goodness, greatness, and grace this day in the Messiah
Jesus. Help me sense your presence all
around me and in me according to the promises of the gospel. Holy Spirit, fill me now. Help me to experience the reality of your
being with me and hearing me. Center my soul in YOU.
I need to love you
more, follow you more consistently, think your thoughts after you, reflect your
heart in my heart, and see everything from your perspective. Forgive me my unbelief that blinds me, limits
my love, creates inconsistencies, and poisons the thoughts of my heart.
Lord, increase my faith, trust, and
dependence upon you this day. Into your
hands I commit this day. Send your
comfort to my hurting heart. Change my
mind and take from me the heart of stone exchanging it for a sensitive heart of
flesh.
The Church, the
governments of this world, the corporations, and every individual heart needs a
fresh wind and fire to come upon us, a reformation of our thoughts, a seeking
after truth, a compassion for the needy, and practical wisdom about how to do
your will on the earth.
Where there is
blindness send sight, allow us to be quick to listen and slow to speak. Save us from destructive anger that only promotes
pride and self-righteousness. Save us
from self-centeredness and self-righteousness.
Humble us that we may be lifted up by your strength, grace, and
truth. Teach us your ways. Use our light to push back our darkness.
Lord of love and
compassion, Come now to us. Help us believe the gospel of grace in Christ Jesus
and live the gospel of mercy before a watching world this day. Amen
