Lord, we know that we are all busy with the tasks of life and often forget that we need to spend time with you. Please help us to slow down so that we don’t lose sight of You because of all the busyness.

Help us to cast aside our pride and become more willing to let You cleanse our minds, hearts, and souls. Teach us how to more freely give You access to our hearts and minds. Show us that when we do this it will help us to be changed a little more each time.

Fill us more with Your mercy and love so that we might become Your loving and humble servants for all the world to see. Amen.
