Read: Isaiah 60:1-3 NIV
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for allowing us to be a part of the work in this corner of Your kingdom today. Thank You for Your unfailing and sustaining grace. As we enter into this day, quicken our hearts and our hands to act generously toward all. Allow us, our families, and our workplaces to be a restorative presence in all the places You have placed us.
Through the overflow of Your love, may we love those around us. Guide our hands to serve You steadily and generously in the year to come. Guide our feet to walk at the pace of Your love – following in the steps You set before us during your time on this earth. Quicken our hearts to obedience, forgiveness, and restoration.
May we abide in Your sustaining love through each new day. May we become more humble and compassionate in our workplaces and embrace the days ahead with tenderness and tenacity. May we work for the good of our community and for Your Glory. Amen ~ Lauren Brett
