PRAYERHeavenly Father, we ask for Your guidance and wisdom in all areas of our lives this week. Grant us patience and grace as we interact with skeptics clinging to worldly knowledge who may not yet see Your hand in all creation.
May they discern Your divine blueprint in the statistically impossible, finely tuned laws of physics and parameters of the universe that allow for life on earth, to the intricate patterns found in the formation of galaxies and other celestial structures. May they witness the perfect sophistication of the natural human genetic code when unchanged, and the interconnectivity of all living things on our beautiful planet that You designed to breathe itself to equilibrium naturally without human intervention.
May they be awakened upon thoughtful examination of the origins of designs in molecular complexes within photosynthetic organisms like plants, or Your magnificent design of the bacterial flagellar motor in living cell membranes, one of the most sophisticated structural designs ever encountered by humanity, comparable only to other things designed by You that far surpass human understanding and the capabilities of incremental evolutionary processes, regardless of time.
Thank You that with our faith in You, we know the origin of everything that is Good. We are reminded of the strength of our faith when we look at our own families, who are a testament to Your love and grace. As are the birds that effortlessly sing in a language that all on earth recognize as beautiful, because of Your design, Father, that You made while knowing they would sing for us every day of our lives. How blessed we are to be Your children!
And so we pray that those doubters may have their eyes opened. May they find the faith and courage to trust in Your limitless wisdom, intelligence and love, and experience the peace and joy that comes from dedicating their lives to Your service. Guide us, Lord. Help us to better fulfill Your purposes every day.
We pray in the Holy name of Jesus. Amen.
