Prayer: Living Our Utmost


Blessed be God! You created us to walk in good works which You laid out for us before the foundation of the world. May we not be disobedient to Your heavenly vision to grow into an holy temple in the Lord; built together spiritually into a dwelling place for You. You, O God, delight in us when we seek to be an expression of You in thought, word and deed before a watching world. May we truly live our utmost for Your highest sixty seconds of every minute, sixty minutes of every hour.


Grant us ears to hear, O God, and place Your wisdom in our hearts and minds so we may be a blessing to others. May we pass this vision on to the next generation, realizing that this is the most important inheritance we can bequeath. O God, we can only lead as far as we ourselves are willing to go; may we step fully into the irresistible future with You. Amen (Acts 26.19; 2 Chronicles 9.8, 23; Jeremiah 7.3, 23; 1 Maccabees 16.3; Ephesians 2.10, 21-23)
