Be our helper so that we can help many others in turn!


Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 

⏤  Matthew 6:10

The will of God will not take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us.

 ⏤ Billy Graham

We are called to do God's will be done in our lives. Accepting His will, living it. As part of this we are called to love and to all, show grace and mercy, the love of Jesus to all. While it is hard to do, this is what God wants of us too. We are called to help, to be kind, and to love. 

The Morning with God App  Prayer of the Day today said, "Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name. May Your kingdom come. May Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Let Your kingdom come into our hearts and into our home. Help us to do Your will as it is done by those who are before Your throne. Too often, we want our own way and struggle to accept Yours. Give us the grace to cheerfully accept whatever You ask us to do or endure. Yesterday, we made promises to live faithfully and follow Your commandments as we worshiped You. Help us to keep those vows today as we return to the world. Don’t let sin have control over us. Keep us from falling into temptation. Protect us from being influenced by bad company or the ways of the world. Keep us under the guidance of Your Spirit. We ask You to give us more grace. We want to live abundant spiritual lives and produce abundant fruit. May we be branches in the vine that bring honor to You. Let the fruits of the Spirit grow in us—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. May those who seek us out for comfort, friendship, strength, or help find something that nourishes their souls. We also ask for personal blessings for all our family members. Sweeten our home life and bind us together with tender love. Help us to support and strengthen each other in every way. Be our helper so that we can help many others in turn. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen."

Today we see so many unhappy people, many without God, many injured, who need love and forgiveness, who need mercy and grace. Sometimes we need to tell ourselves, forgive them for they know not what they say or do. I know I have seen bad behavior directed toward me, have been mistreated like Joseph was, we need to love anyway, find forgiveness, help if you can and move on. God knows there are many who use and abuse, who take advantage of others, who abuse and use, forgive them, move on, show love, have mercy and grace, and know that not all are going to at that time show the same grace back. All we can do is ask God to help us get through all with grace, love, mercy, and forgiveness, showing it as He has shown us. We are promised life eternal in Heaven after this world, we are going to somewhere so much better if we can pass the tests here. Help and love others the best you can!
