"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 luke-warmness, from mediocrity, from normalcy. We want to shine so brightly for You that others can't help but see and feel Your love. Let us look at every encounter as an opportunity to show Your love.
Lord, on the days where 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 it 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."
