Verse of the Day: If I have found favour in your eyes, accept this gift from me. For to see your face is like seeing the face of God, now that you have received me favourably. - Genesis 33:11b
Precious Father, you are Lord over the earthly family, over our extended and nuclear families from which we descend and of which we are all a part. O Lord, on this day as we walk, cycle and drive through our neighbourhoods, we pray your healing into the relational estrangements of our existence: into every fracture between parent and child, every open wound between siblings, every thinly-veiled scar between friends that unfortunately, for so many, has come to
define them. We pray your blessing for ourselves and those entrusted to our care that we may all see “the face of God” in those once lost to us. Meet us in this complicated and muddy process, Jesus, for you have reconciled us to the Father through the Spirit, One God forever and ever. Amen.
