TRANSFORMING PRAYER

NO SECULAR-SACRED DICHOTOMY

Lord, let me increasingly delight in Your Law and meditate on its life-giving truths. I want to be a person of the Word who not only hears it but reflects on it and practices it. As I read the pages of Holy Scripture, I see that all things matter and that there is no dichotomy between the things we call spiritual and the things we call secular. Grant that I may receive a growing wealth of biblical perspective on the circumstances of life, so that I will walk in wisdom, in trust, in submission, in obedience and in love. May I express my real freedom in Christ in acts of life-giving obedience and trust in Your ways. And when I slip into disobedience, may I return quickly and be thankful for Your patience and forbearance.
