The Choice

Lord, thank you for the gift of choice.

Thank you for free will. I pray dearly mine stays in line with yours.

I mourn for those who deny you in this life, for I know you are a God who honors promises. If someone does not want you while in this world, you won’t force them into your presence in heaven. There is no hypocrisy to your truth.

So Lord I lift up the lost. May they feel the pull on their hearts, the yearning for more. When you call their name, may they not only hear it, but respond in sincerity.

I lift up the saved. May they continue to choose your will daily, and reach out to those who do not know you.

Thank you for your mercy and your grace throughout all my choices. And grant me the wisdom to move forward only in your will.

Here I am, Lord. Send me!
