Going the Extra Mile | Your Nightly Prayer

God, I thank you for your upside-down Kingdom. Your ways are so much better than our ways. You show compassion when we are quick to anger. You call us to love when we are ready to call it quits. You compel us to serve when the world says look out for yourself first. Give us the strength we need to live by the rules of your kingdom. Remind us that your ways are higher than our ways. Let your Spirit nudge us to go that extra mile throughout our days so we can bring light into this dark world. Amen.
