Calm is what I need today, faithful Lord and God. Slow down my mind, speed my hands, bring peace and joy to me and to all those around me.
Let Jesus’ word dwell richly in me. May gratitude well up from the heart and spill over in kind words and loving actions.
Help me see my responsibilities to others, be it in the home, in the body of Christ, or in the world, as opportunities to serve.
Remind me always of the privilege I have to pray. Teach me to pray. I want to pray about those things that concern you most.
Use me to pass on the faith to others. Even though they might not remember my name, may they remember the Name of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Amen!
