Daily Prayer

Good Tuesday morning, my friends.

 

Do you ever catch yourself being very self-focused and realize it is affecting your relationship with God and those around you?  Well I have, and the past few weeks have been a prime example.  Between starting a new job; finding, purchasing and equiping a used boat; and preparing for a vacation (I am off next week and the week after so don't expect many Daily Prayers!) I have not had a lot of time left for God or my family.  Jesus said that the two most important things that we were created for were to: 1) love God and 2) love others (Matthew 22:36-40) and I haven't been doing either very well.  Hopefully this time off will be a chance to renew and enhance both of these relationships. 

 

How about you?  Are you distracted by confllicting priorities and letting your most important relationships suffer?  Join me in repenting of this and investing time where it counts most.

 

 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

Bruce

 

 

O My God,

I love you above all things,

with my whole heart and soul,

because you are all-good and worthy of all love.

I love my neighbor as myself for the love of you.

I forgive all who have injured me,

and ask pardon of all whom I have injured.

Amen.
