Lord Jesus, as I start this new week, keep me from becoming wrapped up solely in my own agenda, my own stress, and my own tasks. Open my eyes to the people around me—my family, coworkers, and neighbors. Show me how to be an encouragement today. Give me words that spur others on toward love, kindness, and good deeds. Let my life be a light that builds up Your body and reflects Your selfless love in every interaction this week. Amen.
