Radio Catolica Mundial November Prayer A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Eternal Father, please allow me to make a difference for good. I truly do want to have a life that impacts others for good and that brings you honor. I don't want to waste my time chasing after things that won't last and don't matter. Please give me the spiritual wisdom to follow your will and find your life rather than chasing the shadow values of my culture. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
