The Morning Prayer
Tuesday, October 3, 2023

All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:18–19 (NIV)

Heavenly Father, as I wake to a new day, I am filled with gratitude for the breath in my lungs and the hope that comes from knowing You. I thank You for the ultimate sacrifice You made, sending Your Son Jesus Christ to reconcile us back to You.

You have bestowed upon us the ministry of reconciliation, a call to be ambassadors of Your grace, love, and forgiveness. As I step out into the world today, fill my heart with Your Spirit, that I may be a living testament to Your message of reconciliation.

Help me to see others the way You see them, O Lord—not as people marred by their sins, but as souls yearning for Your love. May my words and actions reflect Your kindness, and may they open doors for healing, understanding, and unity.

Grant me the wisdom to navigate the complexities of life, to make choices that glorify You, and to interact with others in a way that draws them closer to You. Let me not count their sins against them, but rather love unconditionally, as You have loved me.

In my own times of struggle, remind me of Your eternal love and forgiveness, and renew in me the strength to be reconciled with those I may have wronged.

I commit this day to You, Lord. May all that I do be in line with Your will and purpose for me.

In the name of Jesus Christ, who reconciles us all, I pray. Amen.

I hope you find this prayer meaningful and uplifting.
