Having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. (Romans 5:1-2) Lord God, You are the source of righteousness and are always on the side of what is right. I confess that there are times when I assume that I know what is right without seeking Your guidance. Give me the humility to be more concerned about being on Your side than trying to recruit You to be on my side. Clear my mind so I can think Your thoughts. Help me to wait on You, to listen patiently for Your voice, to seek Your will through concentrated study and reflection. And free me from the assumption that I have an exclusive on the dispatches of heaven, and that those who disagree with me must also be against You. I commit this day, Lord, to seeking what is best for those around me. Thank You for allowing me the privilege of a right relationship with You through faith in Christ. Through Him I have access to Your grace and can live with the assurance that tribulation produces perseverance, and perseverance character, and character hope. This hope does not disappoint because of Your love poured out in my heart through the Holy Spirit! (Romans 5:3-5, adapted). Amen!
