“Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people.” -Titus 3:1-2

Heavenly Father,

You reign over all the earth.

Teach me that those who rule over me,

Were placed there by Your hand.

There are no accidental leaders in my life. 

Teach me to humble myself 

and be obedient to their direction.

Prepare my hands and my heart

to accomplish good works 

with a heart of gratitude. 

Help me to hold my tongue today.

Even when i’m tempted,

I will not turn to others in gossip.

Instead, I will turn to You in prayer. 

Where there is division in my life bring unity.

When I’m tempted to be unkind,

teach me the way of gentleness. 

Teach me to love others

the way You have loved me.
