Good Morning, God,
God of grace, you have given us minds to know you, hearts to love you, and voices to sing your praise. Creator God, you have also given us minds to do wisely in our daily actions, hearts to love others in our daily relationships, and voices to sing of all the good things in life.
Lord, we need to put to better use our minds, hearts, and voices. Our headlines speak of children who have died because they are left in hot vehicles. Our minds need to remember and control our actions. Our headlines speak daily of vehicle accidents where one vehicle hits another from behind. Lord, our minds need to remember and stay back farther. Our headlines speak of domestic and child abuse. Our hearts need to go out to the victims, and our heads need to work on solutions. Our headlines speak the voices of war and destruction. Our voices need to speak to our hearts and minds of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, and self-control.
Lord God, give us hearts, minds, voices…and grace to do things your way.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
