Prayer of the Day
Lord, may You always be at the center of my life. At the center of all I do. At the center of my very being. For through grace and love, You have invaded my very being and inhabited my center. You at my center bringing salvation. You at the very gut, heart and soul of me. It's all about You. Increase Your love from my center outward to the world, that I may be a vehicle of Your desire. You are my desire, as You are in the center of my life. Thanks be to God! ---Amen
