Father God we ask that you bring strength and continuity to our lives with each day. Help us to only look forward and never back. Allow our hearts to be filled by Your wisdom and vision for our lives and the community around us. God we come to You with desperate hearts, understanding that we can not walk forward without You. Our vision is limited and finite, our understanding short sited and shallow, our physical strength is of a child and only strong with Your hand. God, You are true, mighty, majesty, with glory among the Heavens we do not understand. Father help remind us to not waste our lives looking at our present life with our eyes and our understanding. We long to bear a life that bears the image of You, but we are so small, so weak, we need You as our constant reminder of what this life really is. Do not let us be blinded by our lives and what lives in front of us, because that is dead, and passes away. We forget that these distractions are truly death, but You are life, You are righteous, eternal, and Holy. Our lives may pass here but, with You they go forward. Holy Spirit be our guide, light our physical and spiritual eyes each day so we may see and act in a manner worthy of the glory of our King. Jesus be a steady reminder of what an honoring, timeless, righteous life truly looks like. Jesus we long to know You and how You love so well, serve so well, and stand firm in all of the promises of our Father. Help us be like You, and continue as parts of the body. Bring harmony to our lives as a body of ONE, united with You helping along the plans of the Father. No matter where each of us stand, Father God, remind us that what we physically see is fleeting, but with You there is eternity, and that is how we should live. Remind us of Your promises over Your people, and of our purpose. You are always greater, stronger, and steadfast, so thank you. Thank you for being patient, kind and loving every day. Thank you for your Son, and the Spirit within us, even when we are blind, we are grateful. Thank you for shepherding us, despite our sin and shortcomings.
