Dearest God,

Be our moral guide; show us the way to a good life of faith, integrity, honesty, love, and compassion.  Lead us heavenward as we seek to live out your will.

All around us and even in us, we see the ways we are corrupt.  We forget whose we are and oftentimes we fall prey to the world's standard of moral good.  We ignore our troubled brothers and sisters.  We do whatever we want to get ahead.  We fail to be model citizens.  How can we ever expect the world to be a better place if we do not do our part to make it better?

O Lord, I worry about what my grandchildren and all the world's children are exposed to.  Although I believe in freedom to express one's self, I still believe there is a line, a morally good line we should not cross because crossing it means we promote a life different than the one you would have us live.  Help us rise to the highest levels of life so our eyes, hearts, minds, and souls will remember to look up and bow down.

Good and Gracious God,
show us
the way
to wholeness
and holiness.
Make us
your own
in every way,
dear God,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
