Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips. Psalms 141:3
Abba, God our Father, our mighty creator. You appointed us as servants in your kingdom. You considered us faithful, despite of us being humans who are weak and not able to walk in holiness. You entrusted us to be ambassadors of your holy name to proclaim you to all people that you are the Holy God whom every head should bow and every knee should bend. Father, we know that we cannot walk perfectly by ourselves alone. We need you to help us and teach us and strengthen us to walk in holiness so that no one may doubt you as our Holy Father and us your Holy children. May they see you in our lives as we follow your footsteps. Let us carry our cross daily. Help us endure the challenges this day will bring. Let our hearts seek and trust you for us to withstand all troubles and be triumphant. Most of all may we be able to proclaim you with our lips and our deeds and magnify your name to the people around us and be comforted and blessed. Amen.
