Verse of the Day: The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son, Generous inside and out, true from start to finish. – John 1:14 (MSG)
Heavenly Father, you have arranged my steps. Father, I am not here, in this neighborhood, by accident. You have placed me here to be a Neighbor to these people; not only for their blessing, but for mine. May your love transform my neighborhood; and may it transform
me too. Lord Jesus, I pray for all the blessings you bestow to be present in my neighborhood; for safety, for care, for provision, and for relationship.
Jesus, you came and moved into the neighborhood to save us, to care for us, to provide for us, and to bring us into relationship. May the generosity of your gift be realized in my community, and may my neighbors experience your generous nature through me. I pray Holy Spirit that you would transform me, making me a blessing to this community. Make me a comforter, a healer, a gift-giver, and truth-teller like you. Make me fully present in my neighborhood, just like you. Amen.
