Jonah 4:1-11
Psalm 86
Luke 11:1-4
“…your kingdom come.” Luke 11:2
Lord, this world has a long way to go before your kingdom is fully here. So much needs to change, so many people need to repent. How about me, Lord? Am I ready to turn my heart fully to you? Am I willing to let go of all that blocks your kingdom to fill me up? Can I become the fully human person you created me to be? Jonah resisted full entry of your kingdom when you showed mercy to his enemy. I still choose my ways over yours. Lord, you know me better than I know myself. When I pray for your will to be done and your kingdom to grow to the full, make the changes in me that need to be—whether I like it or not. Open my heart to your grace so I will see you in all others. Help me to see the potential in those whose faults I expose. May your kingdom start with me even when I want it to start with someone else. Amen.
