To Distinguish Between What’s Interesting and What’s Important

Santifying Spirit,
Our days are filled with choices to make. Possibilities are endless. Without your guidance and direction, we pursue far too much that offers little more than entertainment value, not truly serving you, others, or ourselves in any meaningful way. Grant us the discernment to differentiate what is interesting and what is important. We are easily deceived into believing something is important simply because we’re interested in it. But when you enlighten us to compare what you consider important with what we consider important, the differences become glaringly obvious. Then, when we see the differences, give us the discipline to pursue more God things than just good things. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Peace of Mind

Loving Savior,
There is no Sometimes I feel like my life is a rudderless ship at sea, directionless and at the mercy of the elements around me. The demands of others on my time, the needs of my family, work obligations, and a general lack of direction in life leave me wondering if I’m doing something wrong. I get overwhelmed by not even knowing where to begin to make any changes or progress. On top of that, everyone around me seems to have their lives in order while mine is a chaotic mess.

Grant me, Lord, the peace and calm that come from taking a deep spiritual breath and remembering that my identity and station in life all flow from my faith in you. Remind me that, while I’m never really in control anyway, you are, and that’s enough for me. You know my needs better than I do, and promise to act in my best interest. Give me your servant heart, and simply provide me with the energy and zeal to work faithfully in carrying out the roles and responsibilities you’ve graciously entrusted to me.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
