Good Morning, God
Your word has one of your people saying " . . . this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus."
Lord God, all of us are "pressing on" to something. The headlines reflect both positive and negative "pressing on". Some are pressing on in protests on Wall Street - protesting high executive salaries, a seeming lack of accountability of everybody to anybody, the state of the economy, the state of the war in Afghanistan, the state of the country, in general.
Some are pressing on in their areas of expertise and being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts.
Some are pressing on despite lives interrupted by trials, tribulations, hunger, wars, illnesses. Some are pressing on and achieving victory over deafness, racism, hate and genetic disorders.
So, Lord, may we press on to what lies ahead for us and be with us Gracious God.
In Jesus name, Amen
