#Prayer #Lord, #God, watch over our #leaders

Lord, God, watch over our leaders,
Lift up men and women of righteousness,
of mercy, of fidelity to their calling,
Guard their minds, their hearts,
Let Your presence, Your Spirit,
dwell within them, their spirits,
May they do Your will and Your work…
 
Lord, God, lift up men and women,
holy servants, authentic leaders,
May they care for our nation, justly,
May they lead us in Your ways, in love,
May they lead our people, in mercy,
May they raise up, may they walk,
humbly, in all righteousness…

I planted a seed of hope

I planted a seed of hope


I planted a seed of hope

a daily affirmation

into the good soil

of beating hearts;

I sowed a seed of hope

into the air, the world,

shining a spirit of Gratitude

God’s living Word.

our words can be like honey – v3

our words can lift our neighbors
encourage the stranger,
the seeker, the other
guiding trembling feet

our words can be like honey
sweeter than the honeycomb
offering comfort, so sweet
to restless souls

our words can be a balm
soothing tired, aching spirits;
our words can be a part
of God’s comfort, His peace

the wisdom we gain from God – v2

the wisdom we gain from God
not fleeting but eternal,
ancient words to hold onto
to guide our every step

the wisdom we gain from God
for a life immortal
precious words to lift up
to honor our neighbors
to bring other sinners to Christ

the wisdom we gain from God
to receive a seat at God’s table,
the banquet yet to come
in the courts of heaven above
