COMPASSION
Treat me as your child
Father, I run to your loving arms for safety and protection. I do wrong and sin every day. But you know that I am your child through faith in Jesus. Thanks don’t seem adequate compared to your care and compassion as you treat me like your child—with love and forgiveness. Help me to show how grateful I am by living the way you want me to live. For Jesus' sake. Amen.
Watch over us all
Precious Savior, another day is here. I commit myself, my family, my friends, and all of your children to your care. Relieve those who are suffering, those who are sick, and those who have endured a loss. Be with the lonely, the troubled, and the down-hearted. Forgive those who ask for forgiveness. Watch over us all, and bless us. Amen.
Keep us safe
Heavenly Father, send your holy angels to watch over us today. You have blessed us with another day, and under your fatherly care we look forward to more opportunities to serve you. Keep us safe and help us take a stand for you. In Jesus' name. Amen.
You are my Good Shepherd
Jesus, I can’t even get ready in time every morning, much less be prepared for the spiritual struggles I will face during the day. I’m so glad you are my Good Shepherd and you care for me. When I follow you, I am prepared. When I listen to you, I have no fear of my enemies. I am ready. Amen.
