Abba,
My heart overflows this morning with wonder at Your goodness to me. In Your grace, You have granted me life, health, peace, purpose, the love of family and friends, and the hope of an eternal home with You. I am filled with awe: “When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—the moon and the stars you set in place—what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?” (Psalm 8).
Protect my heart from selfishness. Help me to live generously, remembering that I am blessed to be a blessing, and that those who give of themselves liberally will find themselves refreshed.
I pray for those who suffer, that they may know Your comfort. I pray for those living under the threat of war or oppression; bring them peace, and defeat evil at every level of human relationships. I pray for those who are hungry—physically or emotionally—that they may be fed and experience the fullness of Your care. I pray for those who are lost, without hope, and living in darkness. Let us be a light to them, and reveal Yourself, Lord Jesus, as the Way.
When I come to the end of this day, I pray it will be without regret, having invested each moment wisely and for Your glory.
In the Holy Name of Jesus,
Amen.
