Prayer

Morning Prayer: Kingdom Work

God of justice and mercy, open my eyes today to see as You see: the overlooked, the forgotten, the pushed aside. Make me an instrument— not of my own ambition, but of Your reconciling love. Where there is division, let me build bridges.

Micah 6:8Universaljusticemercy

Morning Prayer: For Healthcare Workers

God of compassion, I enter spaces of pain today, carrying others' suffering, trying to bring healing. Give me steady hands, clear mind, compassionate heart. Help me see each person as whole— not just a diagnosis, not just a case, but someone You love deeply.

Prayer for Service

Servant King, who washed Your disciples' feet, teach me to serve as You served. Not for recognition. Not for reward. Not to feel good about myself. But because this is what love looks like— bending low, meeting needs, giving without counting the cost.
