Again, Rejoice! - Modern

Lord of all grace, we live in troubled times. Whether we are talking about crime, gas prices, inflation, politics, or anything else, we see trouble. However, we rarely check our reality in this world against the reality of the kingdom of God. In Jesus, we are forgiven. We have power through the Holy Spirit. We have spiritual gifts, and nothing except the cares of the world prevents us from pushing toward the prize of our high calling. Remind us to rejoice, not so that we can stick our heads in the sand, but so that we can put our hands on the plow for your kingdom. We ask for joy in Jesus’ name so we can serve you with power. Amen
