Daily Prayer for January 27th, 2018

Good morning, God—thank You—I am grateful! :o))

With my eyes wide open, make me an instrument of Your peace, being gracious in my speech. When there is doubt, give me faith; when there is despair, give me hope—in the darkness, shine Your light* on me! In Jesus name. Amen. 

Colossians 4:2-6The Message (MSG)

Pray for Open Doors

2-4 Pray diligently. Stay alert, with your eyes wide open in gratitude. Don’t forget to pray for us, that God will open doors for telling the mystery of Christ, even while I’m locked up in this jail. Pray that every time I open my mouth I’ll be able to make Christ plain as day to them.

5-6 Use your heads as you live and work among outsiders. Don’t miss a trick. Make the most of every opportunity. Be gracious in your speech. The goal is to bring out the best in others in a conversation, not put them down, not cut them out.
