Sticks and River Beds

Oh Father!

I come to you this morning…You are good. You are good. And there is none like you. No not one.

You are good.

And we are not.

Father, show us how to be like your Son. To have his mindset in all things. To think of others more highly than ourselves. To consider others before we do ourselves.

Father, I ask you would guide every thought today. Every direction of thinking. I pray that you would remove things from the road that would cause us to stumble or change the direction we are traveling with you. Father, even the smallest stick can change the course of a river’s current. Remove sticks. Remove stones. Let the water of us flow in the river bed of your design.

Father, speak to us. What we believe to be your vision—hone, change and transform it until it truly is.

Thank you today. Thank you. Thank you.

Amen and amen.
