...that those who live

might no longer live for themselves

              but for Him...

              2 Corinthians 5. 15

(How does that look like today

in the choices we make,

in how we respond

    both to circumstances

    and to others,

in what we bring to the table,

       even in our attitudes?

How differently do we approach

   this relationship or situation

because we walk with Christ?)

O LORD,

Grant to us a new response,

not what is natural to us

  but supernatural through You,

not what is expected

       but with unexpected grace.

Change our triggers

    from hurt and anger,

    from being wounded

             and striking back,

to responding with love

             and healing.

We abide in You today.

And that should look

            very different

    as we live for You.

Align our hearts

              with Yours.
