PRAYER
Son of God, you made it all -- the oceans and the mountains -- the cats and the dogs -- even the unseen organisms. You have a purpose and a design. I confess that I treat the world as though it exists to serve my personal purposes -- and that's not such a bad thing -- except when my goals are small-minded and contrary to your will. I need your help realigning my life with your bigger plan and your authority. I want to be a witness to you and the renewal of your creation. It's all for your honor, amen!
Our Father in Heaven,
We hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening there.
