To Live With Intention
Dear Lord,
You alone know the number of days assigned to each of us here on earth. Whether that time is long or short, lead us to live with intentionality. Rather than allowing life to happen to us and seeing our time here as simply responding to one series of events after another, fill us with drive and purpose. You have called us to so much that can positively impact so many, and we casually shrug our shoulders as opportunities pass us by. Forgive us for our selfish indifference toward others by loving and serving ourselves more than them. Move us to take inventory of our daily lives to more fully grasp the myriad moments each day brings for us to take action. Let your loving sacrifice on our behalf compel us to make the most of every opportunity, for our time is short and the needs of so many are so great. Give us grace-fueled drive and purpose to embrace our station in life and be deliberate about being the salt and light you set us apart to be.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
