Loving God, we pray your protection over us this day. Guard us from anything or anyone who would steal our affection for you.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the business and the busy–ness of the day that our own schedules steal the time and attention we owe to you.
Things happen, assaulting our sense of certainty and obscuring our clarity, that we fail to see you in the midst of it all, guiding us through.
Fear, doubt, and cynicism cloud our spirits and undermine our desire to remain faithful to your will for our lives.
Easy answers and lucrative options lure us away from standing fast by your precepts when bearing the strain of hard choices and difficult decisions.
Heavenly Father, as children dear to you, on this day and in the living of our lives, may we keep away from anything that dares to take your place in our hearts.
To you, the one true God, we pray. Amen.
1 John 5:21
Courage is contagious. When a brave person takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.
—Rev. Billy Graham
