TODAY'S EPISODE:

Growing up in a family with divorce, there were times I didn't feel at home when visiting my father. The home, its rooms, the toys, all of it didn't feel like mine. I felt displaced, like an interloper. But this thread isn't about blaming anyone; it's about facing insecurities.

Through the years, I've struggled with a diminished view of myself, failing to fully understand my identity. But today's reading about the tribe of Manasseh struck a chord. They asked for more land, and Joshua replied, "Take all you need." It's a marvel because I often felt unworthy of asking for more.

But Joshua's response and the boldness of the 5 daughters of Zelophehad, who asked for their inheritance, made me realize something profound. We all have a good Father who values us and sees us as deserving of His inheritance. Not because we meet some standard, but because we're family.

We can have the same clarity and boldness to see and take what is ours in Christ. Like the daughters of Zelophehad, we can reach out and claim what is rightfully ours. It's a prayer I have for my own soul, for my family, and for each one of you reading this.

May you embrace the truth of your worth and boldly step into your inheritance. Let's learn from the courage of those who knew their value and ask for what is rightfully theirs. This is a prayer for all of us. May it be yours, and may it be so.

TODAY'S PRAYERS:

Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.

Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen

And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray...

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, they kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.
