Freedom: 1 Peter: Prayers and Poetry

Reading: 1 Peter 2:14-17: "... or the governors He put in place to punish lawbreakers and to praise those who do what's right. For it is God's will for you to silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing what is right. As God's loving servants, you should live in complete freedom, but never use your freedom as a cover-up for evil. Recognize the value of every person and continually show love to every believer. Live your lives with great reverence and in holy awe of God. Honor your rulers."

Freedom

To walk in truth--no attack.

In His path only--steps of heart and soul and desires as He leads. Whether in light or darkness.

To focus on His words--especially when tiredness and weakness overwhelm us.

In His vision we are able to follow.

To an ongoing gift of life walking on Holy Ground in holy awe.

Lord, please keep our thoughts and actions attuned to Your purpose. Step by step into Your values and love.
