Today’s Daily Lesson is a prayer given this morning for #LeadershipFW at a breakfast focusing on disaster response in our community. I share it because I think the theology is important.
Our gracious heavenly and also earthly God,
We praise you for who you are and the goodness of your being. We acknowledge that from you all blessings flow; and we repent of all wrong-headed thinking which pins bad things on your good name. Give us the wisdom to understand that the work of evil is a mystery and often our own doing. Help us to understand that the true “acts of God” are the help and comfort you and your people bring to those who need aid.
In the face of the world that we inhabit, we pray as if everything depends upon you, and we work as if everything depends on us. Somewhere in the midst, you work all things to the good.
Guide these leaders. Watch over and protect this City. For we know what the Psalmist says, “Unless the LORD watches over the City, the watchmen stays alert in vain.” May our work today not be in vain; and may it be of you.
We pray this together in one mind and one Spirit. Amen.
