Father, help us to remember Your Word and to do it. Your ways are higher than our ways. Jesus taught us to, "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." Father, it is difficult to do so we ask for Your Grace that we might do as You have said and find what we need in doing so. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
Father, I have experienced first hand how things change when we begin to do things Your way and think the way You think. I once prayed for revenge and things went from bad to worse...then You taught me to pray for them and things turned around almost over night. Your Ways truly are higher. It is an upside-down inside-out dark world without You! Thank You Father and Praise Your Great Name.
