Daily Morning Prayer: Embracing Friendship with God: Thursday Morning Prayer for Alignment and Peace – December 4, 2025

"You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God." — James 4:4

As you begin this new day, remember that your friendship with the world can create distance from God. Choose to align your heart with His will and His ways, for in Him you will find true peace and joy. Let go of worldly distractions and focus on building a deep, intimate relationship with God.

Heavenly Father, help me to resist the temptations of the world and draw closer to You each day. Fill my heart with Your love and guide my steps in alignment with Your perfect will. May my actions and words reflect Your light and love to those around me.
