God will raise us from death by the same power that he used when he raised our Lord to life. ~ 1 Corinthians 6:14 (CEV)
God,
THANKS: Thank you for using your awesome power to benefit people -- including me. The resurrection of Jesus has given me hope and empowers me to face difficulties everyday.
REGRETS: I'm sorry that I get so easily distracted by the power system in the world. Sometimes I want more of that power (to use for good, of course) and sometimes I'm afraid of the power that people have. I worry over who will win the election. I think too much about all the lethal life-sucking power out there.
INTERCESSION: Help me to see how you are already intervening to turn deadly circumstances into life-giving hope.
PURPOSE: No matter what happens I'm going to paint today with hope. I'm not going to dwell on the worldly power struggles -- but on Jesus who broke the chains of death.
Amen.
