To Love the Place Where Your Glory Dwells

Heavenly Father,
Sundays are sacred. When we gather together in your house for worship, there we find your glory. Since your glory is wherever you are, and you are wherever your Word is, we delight in joining with others at church to bask in your glory. Draw back your wandering sheep who have distanced themselves from your house for worship. Where they have been enticed by the misleading lie of any sort of vanishing worldly glory, remove the veil from their eyes to see the truth. Lead them, together with the lost, to repent and return to you for a glory that will never fade. Create in all believers a heart that echos the faith-born yearning of the psalmist: “Lord, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells” (Ps. 26:8).

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Measure My Words

Gracious Savior,
When I allow myself to become angry or irritated, especially by someone else’s words or actions, that is when I am most likely to unleash an unfiltered and unloving response of my own, either verbally or from a keyboard. Such words have never contributed positively to better understanding or resolution, and they never will. Furthermore, that kind of communication isn’t just hurtful to my neighbor; it’s also sin against you, my God. Have mercy on me and forgive my many thoughtlessly spoken (or typed!) words!

Instead, help me to speak only what builds others up. Let my words be words of encouragement, that others may find them to be a breath of fresh air. Even when I am called to admonish or correct, the words I use, along with my tone and body language, should better reflect the loving motives of my heart. If I am to speak in a way that edifies others and honors you, I need to be able to first keep my emotions in check. Let your Holy Spirit guard and guide my heart, so that the words which flow from it serve my neighbor and are always pleasing in your sight.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
