LET US PRAY: As I start this day, oh Lord, I wonder: How will this day be different from any other day? My failures, perhaps Satan’s greatest tool, along with its side kick “DESPAIR”, have brought me to tears and repentance. Has my faith in you grown stale? Shake me up, Holy God! Rattle the door of my cage, set off my smoke detector, ring my doorbell until I answer the door! Let me pray until I hear your voice, until all smugness has given way to gratitude. By the power of your Holy Spirit, renew me afresh in you, today and every day, energizing me in your great commission. In Christ’s name, I pray. Amen.
