May I be motivated by love as well as a commitment to the truth

Dearest Abba Yahweh, thank You for Your promise of peace and safety in my life. I choose to give my attention to You. Have Your way in me and let everything I do bring glory to You. Lord, I receive Your truth today. I receive Your promises. I ask that You ignite my heart with Your holy fire so that I can pursue Your perfect plan for my life. Make my thoughts and words agreeable to Your will.

Help me to shrug off the unkind words and actions of the people around me. Lift me above the hurts that come from unthinking and cruel people. Teach me to respond in love, no matter how I am treated. Help me, Lord, to learn to speak even hard truth in love. Help me to say what needs to be said when I know it will be uncomfortable to do so. May I be motivated by love as well as a commitment to the truth. Give me grace as I speak, as well as a compassionate heart. May everything I do and say in my life honor you.

Lord, it is certainly true that your ways are not our ways. As I think of my life, I’m amazed by how you have blessed me, and by how many of your blessings have been unexpected or even unwanted. Thank you for your wisdom and grace in my life. Help me, Lord, to be a faithful steward of all you entrust to me. May I receive your gifts with gratitude. May I be well used in your service, even today. May I do everything for your sake, leaving the issue of success in your hands. Thank You dear Lord for the many blessings that You have entrusted me with. Help me to understand that each possession we have as a family has come to us because of Your love for us. Help me to reach out today with a loving heart and caring hands to those I meet. In the Sweet and mighty name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen
