Father,

We sometimes feel that we are not making any progress, that we work and never see results. We come to you Father, this day asking for your hand to light the path ahead and clear all blockages. Because “He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man.” (Colossians) We take in that strength from you and we let it fill us up completely. We know Father, that whenever we need this, we can come to you to refill and renew our inner strength from your unlimited wellspring.

Please bless us and our loved ones. May our hearts be filled with peace and a sense of purpose. Father we ask that you bathe the Earth in your love so that there will be a special light of clarity during this challenging time.

May we always walk in faith as your son taught us, “so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love.” (Ephesians) May we keep that lesson foremost in our hearts and minds and remember that above all else, we are grounded in love, and that all of our work stems from that love. May it grow to a great strength and branch outward into the world as the world feels the touch of your hand, bringing it back to peace. We know that change begins with us, Father, may we rise to the challenge and carry it through, in service to you.

So be it.

Amen
