Jesus, the Christ, I look to you as my King. God, our Father, has made the world for you. Today grace me with an open heart, to let your love and care be the ruler of my heart, my being, my every moment.
Free me from those moments in my life where I seek my own favor, my own successes and those times when I seek the affirmation of others rather than your care, your love.
May all of us share in the peace that is your gift to a heart open to you and your forgiving love. Amen
