In the myriad of choices that lay before us right now, Father, we choose peace and calm. We are rising above the pain of our past, and looking forward and upward toward a bright horizon. We choose to employ the teachings of Your Son Yeshua over old resentments. We choose to respond to hate with Love. Rather than add more hate and fear into this world, we choose to pray and shine out Love for them. “Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” (Luke 6:28) Jesus taught us this because the world changes in this way. By showing kindness in the face of fear and anger.

Thank you for these blessings right now in our lives. Thank you for the bright Love that shines on us all. Thank you for new opportunities to try new approaches and feel comfortable doing things in new ways. You are the maker and the unifier, and You are bringing new ways into our world that we’ve never seen or experienced, and You are showing us in the most loving way. Our Salvation in You through the beautiful heart of Your Son, The Light of The World. “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1)

You are in each of us. If you are the spark in each person, then we can show Love to the You in that person, even if they disagree with our thinking. “The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.” (Exodus 15:2)
