"For all that is Good we thank you.

For all that we know, we thank you. For all we don't understand we thank you.

For all we do understand we thank you. God of all, giver of grace and peace help us to seek you, to know you and to enjoy you today.

Amen."

We are Chosen and Dearly Loved

Colossians 3:12 (New International Version)

12 "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."

"Dear Lord, thank you for choosing me. In my state of unworthiness, in your compassion and grace you chose me to be yours. My heart is grateful and my soul rejoices in you. Even in the midst of my sin, your grace is sufficient, in the midst of my failings, you reign over me, you love me. In the mire of this world, that seeks to destroy my joy, I find joy in you. While the enemy surrounds me, your grace is victorious. Allow me to recognize and celebrate your place in my life and to always remember that I am yours because you chose me. Help me to clothe myself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience as I seek to serve you. Amen"

Isaiah 53:6 (NIV)

"We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all."

as children of God we all struggle to stay with our lord at times in our lives.....let us pray that we will no go astray in our daily journey.

"Dear Lord, creator of all and giver of grace. Help us to know you and know where you are in the moments. Keep us close to you. Keep us from falling into the trap of turning our own way/ Keep us in your will, allow us to see you clearly during our times of trials and our times of struggle. Bless us as we strive to be the people of God you want us to be. In your name we pray. Amen"
