Lord, you have breathed life into each thing that lives and with that gift you have also given us a job to do. Some have come to understand that but many have not. The animals, birds, and fish do not comprehend but simply do what they were created to do but people You have given another gift, the gift of free will. With greater freedom comes greater responsibility and the task You have given us can only be fulfilled by humbly asking for Your help.
Lord, help us not to think we are self-sufficient and don’t let the world blind us from the truth but lead us and guide us to a deeper understanding of who You are and who You meant for us to be. Help us to be sensitive to the leading of Your Holy Spirit and put other’s needs ahead of our own. Walk with us as we travel this unseen path and lovingly wait for us when we fall down. The ultimate goal is to please You because in the end nothing else matters, there is nothing else we have been tasked with. Thank You Lord for loving us enough to send Your Son Jesus to show us how to live, help us not to take Your holy example for granted. Help us not to be short-sighted by our own selfishness but eagerly await Your confirmation in a job well done.
