...the area of influence

       God assigned to us,

to reach even to you.

                2 Corinthians 10.13

(Friendships,

neighbors,

people at work,

even casual encounters

        are never random

   but divinely appointed.

Live out the name of Jesus there.

Even those

  we would least expect

         are watching us,

not to see we are perfect,

but to see

           that God is real.)

O LORD,

You are great.

You have strategically positioned us

         here

         for Your glory

and for the salvation of many people.

Please help us to live faithfully,

love them fully

            beyond all expectations,

pray for them continually,

 practice grace

                 even in this,

and bring

     the name of Jesus here.
