A Morning Prayer Poem
/We live in a culture that seems to believe we each define truth for ourselves. Likewise, many believe we also define for ourselves what is good and what is bad, as well as right and wrong. Making our own rules can seem to be very freeing. But I believe it only leads to confusion and emptiness. And the truth is,- not my truth, but THE truth- truth is not subjective. However, it is increasingly difficult to find truth in this era of information overload. After a lifetime of searching over many years and through an abundance of trends, I've come to believe truth can only be found by modeling our lives after a poor, barefoot, traveling, Jewish, rebel priest who, after exposing the hypocrisy of the religious leaders of His time, went on to change the world in just three days when He rose up from His grave, conquering death. He told us what truth is and how we can find it. Everything we need to know, He said- the truth, what is right, and everything good, can be found in LOVE!

Abba, as I begin this new day,
help me to love as Jesus did.
As I trust Your goodness to guide me,
help me to live as He lived.
Show me how to honor You, Father;
make my faith have no "ifs, ands, or buts."
Help me to trust You with reckless faith,
and be obedient no matter what.
May I always make You my true north,
make You the center of all that I do.
And when I say, "Thy will be done,"
may it always be heartfelt and true.
Abba, today, please show me the path
that You have anointed for me.
And with love for You and my fellows,
help me to walk that path faithfully.
With gratitude for Your love, Abba,
and for all of the blessings You send,
Humbly, I pray this prayer
In the name of Your Son, Amen!
