Prayer for today...

God, give us the ability to see that what you really desire from us is our heart...not our works, not our stuff and not even just our good behavior. For we know that when we give you our heart, the rest will follow. Jesus give us a desire to love like you love, forgive like you forgive and be humble in all we do. Help us to see that all we do is really for you and you alone! Help us to serve others with joy in our heart because we know in that moment we are being the most like you. Thank you for loving us despite ourselves. Help us to realize that we are beautifully and wonderfully made in your image God and help us to not listen to the lies of the enemy about who the world wants us to be. May we walk in the will that you have laid out for our lives with each new day that you give us. In Jesus name, Amen.
