Do Your Best!

"...do all to the glory of God"
I Corinthians 10:31

In the quiet moments of prayer, we sincerely reach out to you O Lord, our God in the midst of cultural pluralism that presents challenges to the way we see and hear you. Thank you for your persistent love that transcends the troubles of this world to sustain us in seasons of joy and sorrow.

Forgive us for giving our best to the wrong things. Forgive us for giving our best efforts to trivial pursuits and our meager contributions to major kingdom service. Forgive us when we fail to do all to the glory of God whether in desire, drink, dress, conversation, thought and action.

Guide us so that we will know what is important and unimportant. Empower us to do the things that truly matter so that the things that don't matter will not occupy too much of our time. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Reign Over Us

Gracious and Loving God, in the name of Jesus we come seeking your will and your way for our lives that our living will not be in vain. Thank you for how far you have brought us and for how you have kept us even when we did not understand it as such.

Loving God, we need your help. we need you to reign in our lives so that we seek you first. Lord, we have not been who you have called us to be and we need to feel your loving touch to show us the way to live in your Kingdom here on earth. Teach us what it is to be in relationship with you first, show us what love looks like with you first, so that we will be able to discern good relationships and real love for ourselves.

In the loving name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
