…Gracious and loving God, we come before you today, prepared to hear words for our lives in this time and place. We know that our honest and faithful following of your Son is what will bring us into glory in our due time. So, we ask in the coming moments, help us to clear our minds to focus solely on your words for each of us this day, to filter out all that is going on around us so that we can clearly hear your voice in our ears, and most importantly to reorient our hearts upon You and Your Son so that we can live completely into the life you have in store for us, Amen.
