Dear Father,

     You inspire our lives and hearts with seen and unseen messages. Some divine messages may lead us by calm waters, some by blazing fires.  Both the waters and the fires cry out for Your Living Presence.

      If we serve You by the still waters, we commit to You our lives.  If we serve You by the blazing fires, we also commit to You our lives. 

      May our hearts become fortified steel in the presence of the fires. May Your shield of courage and endurance strengthen us.  Your shield of love will comfort us.

For we know that in all circumstances we live, move and have our being in Christ. 

In every way, we will serve You, our Heavenly Father, in commitment and love.

Rejoice in the Lord always.
