All of earth’s inhabitants are nothing in comparison. The Most High does whatever he wants with heaven’s forces and with earth’s inhabitants. No one can contain his power or say to him, ‘What do you think you are doing?’
1 PETER 5:6 (CEV)

PRAYER
Powerful God, no one is in a position to give you advice. Of course, that doesn't stop us from trying. Like everyone else, I'm pretty opinionated and I share my thoughts even when it's not helpful. Show me how to live humbly in the shadow of your power and wisdom. I think I'm going to enjoy not having to be in charge. 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 in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen!
