My Prayer

Lord, may we choose you every moment of

every day. We want to be fully committed to

You. We want every day to become a day we

say "yes" to You. We repent for

lukewarm-ness, from mediocrity, from normalcy.

We want to sine so brightly for YOu that

others can't help but see and fell Your love.

Let us look at every encounter as an

opportunity to show Your love.

Lord, on the days were helping just one

more person seems like too much, help me to choose You.

On the days when Satan whispers "you

can't save everyone, why are you trying?" let me choose You.

On the days when ti would be too easy

to pop in a movie for my children instead of

reading scripture with them, let me choose You.

When harsh words are easier to find than

kind ones, let me choose You.

Father, like Paul, I know what I want to do,

what I should do, and yet I find myself

failing and discouraged. Thank You for your grace.

Thank You that You who sit so high

would look low upon people like me and use us

as a vessel for you. How blessed we are to even be called

servants, to be able to share in your kingdom

and share your love with others.

Thank you for the cross, where you

have given us peace and holiness. Father,

we long to say yes to You.
