“Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.” Philippians 4:5

Father God,

Thank You for creating me for a time such as this; a time that requires more than ever that we set ourselves apart as Your children, joyful and obedient.

Grant an emptying of self so that I can be stirred by Your Holy Spirit and walk in gentleness to all, so that others see Your Only Son, Jesus, through me, bringing the Lord close to them.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for always being near, always accepting our outstretched hand, always breaking our chains, always breaking the grip of the evil one.

Thank You, Jesus, for commanding the evil spirits so that we can walk in gentleness, for Yours is the name above all names. The name before whom every knee shall bend. Jesus the Christ. Jesus, who is always near. Amen.
