Father,

We come to you today with an open heart. There’s so much confusion swirling in the world at the moment, we come to you as our refuge. We know that first and foremost we are loved by you at our very base- at the core of who we are. Even when we get beat up, we can come to you, we have nothing to prove to you, because you love us for who we are, because at our origin point we came from you as love. “Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you” (Isaiah 43:4) We promise to claim this unconditional love that you have for us, we promise to live from it, and use it. We promise to emulate it with our family and neighbors. “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:30-31)

As we accept the truth of this holy love being showered on us by you, we are being healed. To feel that we are loved so completely and purely by you, that there’s nothing else that really matters, except love and truth. That sets us free, knowing there is nothing we need to prove to you. We can focus on being that love in the world and sharing our joy with others. Knowing that we are love helps us to trust ourselves better. It sets us on a clear, clean foundation with a strong connection to you. “The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save, He will rejoice over you with singing, He will quiet you by His love.” (Zephaniah 3:17)

Bless our day today Father, keep us in your holy light. Help us remember how much we are loved by you, as we go about our work, in service to you. Bless our hands that they may help, not hinder. Bless our words that they may heal, not harm. Bless our heart and mind that they may think and navigate well, staying true to the love that we are, while always staying protected by your Light.

In love and humble service,

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
