Message:
Be the reason that someone knows that God is good.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with thankful hearts, grateful for the countless ways You reveal Your goodness in our lives. Your love is unfathomable, yet so many of us struggle to truly reflect that love to the world around us. Lord, we recognize the weight of the call to be vessels of Your goodness. Help us to walk through our days with an awareness of the impact our actions have on others. As we interact with family, friends, and even strangers, may we embody Your love, grace, and kindness in all that we do.
In a world that often feels heavy and burdened by negativity, let our thoughts and deeds shine brightly like a beacon of hope. May we be an affirmation of Your goodness, making Your presence known through our words and actions. Help us to recognize the opportunities You place before us each day to touch a life, to lift someone’s spirit, or to bring comfort to a weary heart. Lord, empower us to be the reason someone experiences Your grace, that they may know they are not forgotten and that they are deeply loved by You.
We ask for the courage to overcome our hesitations and the willingness to step outside of our comfort zones in service to others. Grant us compassion for those who are lost, weary, or struggling. May our empathy and love remind them that they are not alone and that You, Lord, care deeply for each one of us. Equip us with words of encouragement and gestures of kindness that reflect Your heart.
As we strive to be the reason someone knows of Your goodness, may we also be reminded of Your goodness toward us, understanding that we too are recipients of Your abundant grace. Let Your love overflow from us, impacting those around us in ways that reflect Your glory. May our lives be a testament to the transformative power of your goodness, leading others to seek and find You.
We ask all this in Your holy name. Amen.
Jackie
