Do not be overcome 

           by evil,

but overcome evil

               with good.

             Romans 12. 21

(Bottom line.

      First response.

Continually in our power

             to choose.

What is God’s way in this?

         Always grace.)

O LORD,

You have loved us,

You have given us grace,

     over and over again.

Help us to practice grace

             to those around us,

     over and over again.

How does that look like

   today in this situation?

Help us to not react,

   but respond,

not for our honor

            but for Your glory.
