Morning Prayer For Today – Make Me Your Instrument

Lord Jesus,

I am made in Your image and likeness. Created to represent You on the earth. Every part of me is shaped with purpose, and each breath I take is a reflection of Your divine plan.

You have chosen me to walk in the fullness of Your truth, to live as a beacon of hope and love in this world that desperately needs both. It is a humbling truth, Lord, that You created me with the capacity to know You, to reflect Your goodness, and to shine as a witness of Your everlasting love.

You haven’t called me to be anything by my strength. Everything I am and have is freely bestowed on me by Your grace and love. My talents, my gifts, my very existence—none of these are of my own making.

They are a gift from You, entrusted to me for the purpose of fulfilling Your will. I know that without You, I am nothing, but with You, I can do all things. Every strength I possess is a reflection of Your empowerment, and every moment I live is a gift from Your mercy.

I pray today that You will make me Your instrument to spread Your life, love, salvation, and peace to those around me. Help me to be a vessel through which Your glory is made known. Let my words be full of grace, and let my actions reflect Your compassion.

May every interaction I have, whether with family, friends, or strangers, be an opportunity to bring light into someone’s life. I long to be a living testament of Your grace, a light in the darkness, and a source of comfort and encouragement to those who are lost or weary.

I think deeply on Your Word in 1 Peter 2:9:

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession,
So that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.

Lord, I am reminded of the tremendous calling You’ve placed upon my life. You have chosen me, not because of any merit on my part, but because of Your great love and mercy.

You have set me apart to be a royal priesthood, a holy nation, one that declares Your praises and proclaims Your glory. I pray that my life reflects this calling. May I live in such a way that others see Your power at work in me. Let me never forget that I am not my own but belong to You, called to a higher purpose—to bring glory to Your name.

Lord, I ask that You will use my life to nurture others. Help me to be a good example to lead others to You. Let people see You in me, Lord Jesus. May they be drawn to Your love because of the way I live.

Help me to love others unconditionally, to show kindness and patience, and to always point them back to You. Let my life be a reflection of the peace and joy that only You can give. I desire to be a walking testimony of Your love, one that encourages others to seek You with all their hearts.

Your Word says in Acts 26:18:

To open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God,
That they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.

Lord, You have called me to be a messenger of this truth, to open the eyes of those who are blinded by the darkness. I stand ready to share the message of salvation, that others may turn from their sins and embrace the light of Your truth.

I am empowered to turn people from darkness to life, to help them discover the hope that is found only in You. I know that in sharing the gospel, I do not act alone—Your Holy Spirit goes before me, preparing hearts to receive Your word.

I am a symbol of assistance and support for every believer. I am not only a vessel of Your grace but also a partner in Your mission to spread the gospel. Together with my brothers and sisters in Christ, we are called to reach the lost, to make disciples, and to build up the body of Christ.

I spread the love of God without restraint. And people come to the true knowledge of God through me. May Your love flow freely through me, that others may come to know the depth of Your grace. Let my life be a mirror that reflects Your love, a beacon of hope that shines in the darkness. I pray that as I walk through this world, I leave behind a trail of love, peace, and salvation.

In Your name, I pray.

Amen.
