Father,
We put our faith entirely in You. Make us ready for the day at hand. Shore up our strength of conviction and our impassioned courage. Fill us with the light of a thousand candles, burning red-hot with righteousness. Cleanse us of anything that does not belong and may hold us back.
Bless our eyes that we may see clearly,
Bless our voice that we may be heard,
Bless our hands that we may do your good works,
Bless our manner that our efforts hit their mark.
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. From the house of the LORD we bless you.”
(Psalm 118:26)
This is a moment that we are in triumph, because it is in the true knowing that our blessings come from You that we rejoice. They do not come from a man-made system that puts so little value on human life. Our blessings do not come from an old lifeless warring system. You are triumphant and You are the Source of all that is. “Gather to Me My saints, who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.” (Psalm 50:5)
Jesus taught us what love really is, how Love works in our lives and in our world. He showed us we are made of that Love and he still shows us every day to this moment right now. We feel it inside us, the growing soft glow of a new joy awakening inside us. It is our humanity that reigns supreme. “They took palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting: ‘Hosanna!’ ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ‘Blessed is the King of Israel!’” (John 12:13)
And the heavens proclaim His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge.
In humble service,
In the name of The King,
Amen.
