To See Your Goodness at All Times

God of All Goodness,
You are good, all the time. We believe it because we know it’s true, but in practice we easily shift our eyes away from all the good you are accomplishing and focus on all that is wicked and wrong in the world. Remind us that you have overcome the world, and that your will and your ways always prevail. Fill our hearts daily with gratitude, so that it shapes and influences the way we see things, and we become more and more aware of your goodness all around us and for us. Our lives will have ups and downs, celebrations and frustrations, but your goodness is constant. Therefore, make us confident at all times and in all situations that you really will bring good out of everything for all your people, including me. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Assume the Best of Others’ Words and Actions

Kind Savior,
I find it so easy to take things personally and make negative assumptions about the words and actions of others. I want to change this. You call me not to conform to the world, but to be transformed. Since your Spirit is behind that change, I ask you to adjust my attitude and reframe my thoughts to align with yours. When I reflect on the things my neighbor says and the way s/he treats people, prompt me to filter everything through a positive lens. Direct me to consider the best intentions behind words and actions, and to hold to those assumptions until given a reliable reason not to. Allow this approach to spread all around me, so that society normalizes taking the words and actions of others in the kindest possible way. Let your light shine brightly in me and through me in this way.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
