For God alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation. He alone is my Rock and my Salvation, my Fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken. Psalm 62:1-2

As our country contemplates the 25th anniversary of 9/11, it’s easy to become hopeless looking at our world today. Let’s pray, focusing on our relationship with God. He alone makes all the difference in our lives and the lives of our neighborhoods. As we become closer to Him, may He mold us more and more into His character. And may we share His hope to our broken and hurting world.

You know my heart, Lord.

You created it.

You fashioned me in every way.

My talents. My hopes. My dreams all come from You.

I want to know You more.

I want to trust You with all that I am.

The moment I wake, may You be on my mind.

When I close my eyes at night, may my thoughts remain on You.

You have my best in mind.

You created me for a high purpose.

Reveal Your plans to me, O God.

May I recognize Your divine appointments.

May I minister Your peace to those around me.

May I comfort those who are sad.

May I rejoice with those who share.

May I pray with those who need Your touch.

And may I be a living extension of You as I rely on You for my everything.
