Blessed

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:3

Everlasting and merciful God, let your Spirit reign in our hearts. We say and do all manner of things that fall short of your righteous and holy love. Free us from selfish pursuits - personally, professionally, and politically. 

Through your Son, by your Spirit, we might know and have the purest of intentions and actions that bring you praise, honor, and glory. Convict us we pray, in body, mind, and spirit to be the salt and light. Let us be the voice of kindness and consideration. Make us Kingdom-minded people who sow seeds of hope and love this day. To this end we pray, in the name of Jesus...
