As we rise and shine, Father, we become more passionate about making this day the best it can possibly be. We are reminded today to hone our tools, “Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you.” (Hosea 10:12) Bless us with being authentic in all ways that we shine our light. When we focus on the things that make our heart smile, we create more of what we want in our lives. We thank you this day, Father, for the abundance of gifts in our lives and for the abundance of resources that flow to sustain us in our work, on our journey. May we become wise and prudent in all ways.

Bless our world today, As change comes over our beautiful planet, we take the opportunity for self-reflection. We wonder if our wants and needs are overshadowing our ability be an authentic voice in this world. We humbly ask for forgiveness and to be cleansed by your holy fire for anything that is not serving us any longer. As we grow, we slough off layers that protected us from old systems. As we shed, we are cleansed and polished by your love, Father. “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” (Proverbs 4:18)

We ask for blessings for our teams and families, for all our loved ones. May they all be carried on the wind of your protection and glory, always kept safe from harm. May we always be mindful of your unconditional love for us, and to feel it every moment of every day.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
