Prayer ~ God, You created us just like Jesus…good and perfect. Help us to attain to that level. Continue to show us just how You want us to live in a good and perfect condition.
So don't be misled, my dear brothers and sisters.
Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created
all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. He
chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all
creation, became his prized possession. James 1:16-18
Meditate.
Can we truly be good and perfect? God created us…in Jesus
Christ…to be just that good and perfect so that we could be His prized possessions.
Once again, feel how it feels to be loved by God—to be His prized possession.
Although we may feel unworthy, we are forgiven, if we ask for that, and we become
adopted by God into His very family. Loved. All those who believe in Him are
loved and love others.
And this is his
commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one
another, just as he commanded us. Those who obey God's commandments remain in
fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the
Spirit he gave us lives in us. - 1 John 3:23-24
Life is about love. Loving God and loving others. One of
the groups of people we ought to love…and for whom we should continually pray
is the Jewish community, especially the Jews in Jerusalem.
Pray for peace in
Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper. O Jerusalem, may there be peace
within your walls and prosperity in your palaces. For the sake of my family and
friends, I will say, "May you have peace." For the sake of the house
of the LORD our God, I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem. Psalm
122:6-9 
Sign seen in Jerusalem
Peace within their hearts.
Do you pray for them? They are wonderfully made…just like
you. Good and perfect.
