A Tuesday morning prayer

Dear God who instituted a new and different way of life for Your own people,
I pray I would be very different from the world around me, not charmed by the fleeting things it has to offer, but charmed only by the eternal and glorious things you offer. To love what You love and desire what You desire. To be eager to show love even to those who hate me; to rejoice in my quiet and peaceful home where You are exalted, and love and kindness abound; to see all with the eyes of faith, knowing that all of creation was created by You for my good and Your glory; to fight for Your Truth no matter what people may say or think about me; to desire to see justice carried out, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with You all of my days.
