Abba, in the still of the morning I’m waiting … on You.  Quiet my mind and heart by the Presence of the Spirit. Speak “peace” to the thoughts that blow through the corridors of my mind making me anxious about so many things.

How I praise You that I am called a ‘child of God.’  This is my confession – Galatians 4:5-7 “God sent (Jesus) to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children. And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.”Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir.”  Oh, what joy!

In these days when we remember Jesus’ birth and Isaiah’s declaration that He is the “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace” – I pray to know You anew in these ways.

Let my soul be filled with the supernatural serenity that comes from the Spirit’s Presence, the security that flows from faith, and the wisdom only known in Your counsel. And, let me be a source of peace, hope, and wisdom in the world in which I live today, I pray.

Let Light overcome darkness – in me and through me in my world.

In the Holy Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
