Despite their fear of the peoples around them…

My Daily Prayers and Readings for 10/08/2013

Despite their fear of the peoples around them, they built the altar on its foundation and sacrificed burnt offerings on it to the LORD, both the morning and evening sacrifices.

< >< My Prayer >< >

Lord God, turn my attention from what others think of me, and let me have eyes of faith only for what You think of my life and work. Replace fear of people with a reverent awe of You that drowns out all else. Keep me focused on what You’ve called me to do.1 With a pure heart, and a steadfast spirit. Free of judgement and full of forgiveness and love. Staying strong in You and Your almighty power. (r or l) For my one walk in and with You today, as an example of Your presence and a channel of Your peace and love in all situations with all people. Remembering that if I get nothing else done, let me spend it loving You and others first, as You love me. Asking that whenever I speak, words may be given to me, so that I will fearlessly make known the truth in the mystery of the gospel – one walk. Praying without ceasing for me and mine in fulfillment of Your will and for those You place in my path.In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
