Almighty God who hides great oak trees inside tiny acorns, we acknowledge our frailty and fallen humanity before you. Your majestic greatness seen in the diversity of creation and your tender compassion shown when silently writing in the dust of the earth, are staggering.
Help us when in times of adversity, to prioritise and maintain unity; to face storms without fear because we have firstly made sure you’re in the boat with us.
We pray that our desire to do right will always outweigh wanting to be liked.
Help us never to settle for less than what you have planned for our lives, so that big dreams will achieve great victories.
No matter what a day brings forth, let us be reminded that there is hope in the darkness, like there is light in a dawn.
Enable our perspective on life to be framed by a knowledge of eternity so that our focus remains righteous and true.
May we know your steadfast love and power so that any fear we experience will be diminished by courage and resolute faith.
Empower us therefore, to daily fulfill our duty to uphold your truth and values, to beacon forth your light and love, to bring justice and compassion whilst retaining integrity and morality … and primarily, to bring glory to your holy name.
Amen.
