Morning Reading: Romans 14:17-19 (NLT)

For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. If you serve Christ with this attitude, you will please God, and others will approve of you, too. So then, let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up.

Prayer

Blessed be our God and Father: he hears my prayers.

+ Thank you, Father, for sending your Son: may I keep him before my eyes throughout this day.
+ Make wisdom and sound judgement my guide: help me walk in newness of life.
+ Give me your strength in my weakness: when I meet problems give me courage to face them.
+ Direct my thoughts, my words, my actions today: may I know, and do, your will.
+ Fill me with your Spirit: may my life reflect your goodness and peace and joy.

Lord God, true Light and Creator of light, grant that faithfully pondering on all that is holy, I may ever live in the splendor of your presence. Through my Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
