The Upper Room Daily Devotional 4th October 2022 MESSAGE
“God, grant me an opportunity to help someone today,” I prayed. It didn’t take long to receive an answer. After I returned from the store, I noticed an elderly neighbor struggling to maneuver her walker and open the door at the same time. I ran to her assistance, held the building door open, and then helped her with her apartment door as well. After receiving her thanks, I returned to my apartment and thanked God for the chance to help a neighbor in need.
We each have opportunities to serve others every day. When we pray for God to direct our steps and open our eyes to ways to serve, our Creator is delighted to answer our requests. We can help an elderly person with their groceries or take the time to talk to a lonely friend on the phone. Regardless of how we love others, we can experience a sense of delight when we serve others and glorify God.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Heavenly Father, open our hearts to see opportunities to serve others and learn what it means to love like you today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
God will grant me an opportunity to help someone today.
PRAYER FOCUS
My neighbors
