Daily Morning Prayer: Embracing Greatness: Thursday Morning Prayer of Welcome – October 16, 2025

"Then he said to them, "Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest."" — Luke 9:48

As we begin this Thursday morning, let us remember the profound words of Jesus about welcoming others. Let us embrace humility and kindness, for it is in serving the least among us that we truly serve God. Today, let us seek to see the greatness in those who may appear small or insignificant, knowing that in doing so, we welcome the presence of God into our lives.

Lord, help me to welcome others with open arms, just as you have welcomed me. May I see the greatness in those whom society may overlook, and may my actions reflect your love and grace. Guide me today in showing kindness and humility to all I encounter.
