To Do What Is Good



No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good,
    and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right, to love mercy,
    and to walk humbly with your God.

—Micah 6:8 (NLT)



Heavenly Father,


Help me to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with You, today.


Thank You, for showing me Your character and Your will through Your Word—so that, out of my own personal experience with the goodness I see demonstrated in You, I am able to understand what is good.

Help me live out my life with an overflowing gratefulness for the gifts of Your unrelenting and unfailing love, Your ultimate sacrifice for my redemption, and the fullness of my salvation.

Let that heart of gratefulness govern my thoughts, words, and actions—so I might always respond by doing what is right and just in Your sight.

Help me to live my life in service to You and to others—in demonstration of the love and mercy that has been poured out on me.

And cause me to walk with You—living for You and drawing my very essence from You—with a humble spirit that is void of pride.


Help me to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with You, today.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
