Today I pray

The bounty of your love is revealed in the caring of friends. This day, Oh God, I offer a prayer of thanksgiving for the people you have placed in my life.

There are those who show me unconditional love, those who keep me grounded when I may try to reach too far. I also thank you for those people who are here to teach me patience and consideration. Thank you for those who may not love or even like me. It is those people which build my character.

I pray for those who are hurting in their own ways that they will come to recognize you and embrace your love. May you use me as an instrument of your love. Allow me to be a reflection of Christ to all I encounter not for my glory but for their needs.

God, for every gift you have given me I am thankful. I would ask you allow me to use it to the full measure of my ability and in me people will see you.

Thank you for this day which affords new opportunities and new challenges. May I use this day fully in your service.

I pray all of thees things in my saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen
