Prayer for today (2/17/16)

Father, please forgive us when we resist your will or outright disobey your commands. Eradicate any thoughts of ours that you are inconveniencing us, and give us the mindset that you are showering us with privileged opportunities to do your work. Thank you for equipping us and smile on us as we reach for the stars, for nothing is impossible for you. We pray and thank you in Jesus' name. Amen.
