PRAYER OF THE DAY - Romans 7:12
Dear God, Creator of the universe and source of all goodness and justice, we approach You on this new day with gratitude in our hearts. We recognize that You are holy and that Your law is holy, righteous and good, reflecting Your perfect and loving character. Help us, O Lord, to live according to the principles of Your law, always seeking justice, truth and love in everything we do.
Forgive us, Lord, for all the times we fail to fulfill the commandments of Your law. We recognize our weaknesses and limitations, and we ask for Your mercy and forgiveness. Enable us, O God, to live in a way worthy of Your calling, following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
Give us discernment to understand Your will and courage to obey it, even when this requires sacrifice and renunciation on our part. May our lives be living witnesses of Your transforming grace, reflecting Your light and love to the world around us.
Strengthen us, O Lord, in our daily journey, protecting us from temptations and guiding us along the path of righteousness. May every choice we make and every word we speak be in accordance with Your will, so that we may glorify Your name in everything we do.
May Your Holy Spirit dwell within us, enabling us to live lives worthy of Your calling. May our hearts be filled with love, compassion and mercy, following the example of Jesus Christ, who came into the world to show us the way of salvation and reconciliation with you.
In the name of Jesus Christ, who perfectly fulfilled Your law and granted us the grace of salvation, we pray.
Amen.
