Verse of the Day: Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. – Matthew 11:28-30
Bless you Father, for you have sent your Son to us not in the strength of might but in the power of humility and gentleness that we may have rest. Likewise, as you form us more fully into
your image, guard us from using truth as a hammer and strength as a weapon. Let us bear others in their weakness, their desperation, their deprecations, and receive them as you have received us. Where the world is angry, violent, and coercive, help us to be graceful, merciful, and gentle. Lord, we are tempted to respond to our enemies harshly and brutally; settle us in your love, that we may be slow to take offense and quick to extend a hand of friendship. Spirit, may our words and our tone soothe without sacrificing truth. In granting us meekness, make known the great glory of our God, who in gentleness gathers His children. Through Christ, our Lord: Amen.
