Craving Approval

Dear Lord, why do we crave praise and attention from others, when only Your presence truly matters in our lives?

Yes, we covet mortal companionship, but we do not need to be uplifted by shallow, temporary embellishments regardless of the care and comfort given.

Your words and your eternal Love are truly all we search for as we travel the roads, we call life. You have often shown us the lighted path even though we wander far afield.

Father, we pray for and lift those in need both – spiritual and material need. For your Word is truly what all of us desire.

O Perfect God, thank You for allowing me to walk on the enlightened path You have shown me so that I may continue bringing Your Love to all.
