Today is ours, Father, a day in which to mold and use. We often don’t realize the importance of our imagination and believing in that which we are creating. That it is not just in the brute force labor of our hands, but you have given us the ability to make big things happen through the use of our minds. Jesus told us, “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” (Mark) It is with our faith of belief that bolsters our knowing that if we tell a mountain to fall into the sea, it will do it. Against all odds. Above all else, that knowing, that mustard seed is what makes it happen. “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew) When we choose to strongly stay in faith of knowing and not to encourage doubt, Father, all things in the Universe will fall into place for it to happen. “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.” (Luke)

We expect good things in the world to be revealed to us, Father. Together, with you, we have planted many good seeds. We have watered and weeded and nurtured our good seeds with care. “It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches.” (Luke) May all our seeds grow to be a positive part of this world in ways that provide protection and sustenance and elegance.

Bless our loved ones today Father. Bless our team. Please bless our work, Father, may we plant our mustard seeds with certainty and may they grow in all possible ways for the good.

So be it,

In Jesus’ name,

Amen
