Lord, You are worthy of all honor and glory. Fill me with your abiding love so that I can be a conduit to others around me. I want my actions to show my commitment to your ways. I want my words to echo in agreement. Please, don’t let me say one thing and do another in opposition to my words. I desire to live out my faith authentically, not superficially. Guide my days with justice, mercy and faithfulness. Keep me alive and vibrant through your Word. I pray in the name and authority of Jesus, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.” (Matthew 23: 23 ESV)
