#faithbites #faithjourney #faithbiteslite present

Intro

Very short #faithbiteslite today. Know that you matter and you being present is critical. You are chosen by God for a reason. Be present, listen, then act to benefit others. If we all did that, all of us would benefit and rise up.

Scripture

• Proverbs 2:2 – Making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding;
• Proverbs 19:20 – Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future.

Prayer

Lord God, tonight we pray for wisdom and direction. You made us to live together and to do that we have to be present. Help us to listen, really listen to each other. Then give us the words and skills to act in the best interest of others. As may be make mistakes but help us correct those mistakes and help us thrive as one community. In your name we pray, Amen
