August 31

O Savior Divine,
Our hearts rejoice this morning with thanksgiving and praise for Your great excellency. You are perfect in all Your ways and You declare that we can share in that perfection as well. You call us to a higher standard in this Christian walk and we beseech Your grace and Holy Spirit in order to live in such a sphere. Yet Lord we cry out this morning in desperation as we look all around us and see the deterioration of this beautiful world You created. The immorality is without mention. We realize that if You do not come soon, we will not make it. Humanity will destroy themselves. We know that Your patience is wearing thin. Please forgive us Lord when we looked to the right and to the left instead of Up. Keep us on the straight and narrow path and help us not to succumb to this world's pressure to conform is my prayer in Christ's name, Amen.
