Heavenly Father, as the dog days of summer stretch before us, prompt us to take stock as individuals and faith communities. Give us the vision to look upon these days as a gift, a time of renewal and preparation.
Remind us that we are not only called to be men and women of faith in our own personal lives, but we are also called to put feet to our faith in the nation where You have planted us.
Impress on us that a conscious decision to pull back from our role as Christian citizens could quickly result in limiting our rights to practice our everyday faith and the ability to share Your grace with those in pain and without hope.
Open our eyes to the mission field that lies right before us. Give us hope, strength, wisdom and words to answer your call.
Thank you, Dear Lord, for walking alongside us in a troubled world. May we rise to Your challenge.
