But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.  Matthew 5:44 NET

God, as we start each day, help us remember that we belong to You, and our desire is to act accordingly. Keep our feet from wandering into distractions that could steal precious time and energy from the most important things You have designed for us. We are proud to be Your children, Lord. And we are ever grateful that every day is filled with the wonder of Your love, the freedom of Holy Spirit, and the pure joy of knowing You hold our hand.  We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray deliverance, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
