Boo Thought:
Whew, we need truth, teaching, guiding, helping, reminding, convicting and glorifying Christ to come out of the mess we are in as a nation. When I pulled out some papers from my school bag, the laminated word "tomorrow" fell out. Our nation is on edge about our tomorrows. I decided to pray this for our tomorrow:
Tomorrow may we each...
...love Jesus a little bit more
...be stronger physically and spiritually
...be wiser and more discerning
...love and respect others with a passion
...realize as believers we are one day closer to heaven
...have no regrets for how we lived yesterday
...remember there are people who love us and are praying for us
...be joyful and pray without ceasing
...give thanks to God for all He has provided, especially for His Son
Let's Pray: Father, when tomorrow comes may we rejoice that another day has begun and face it confidently knowing You are at the controls. In Jesus Name, Amen
