Make our wills good

A small compass needle being gently nudged by an unseen hand so it settles pointing true north, showing a will being turned toward what is good.

Lord, please rule the hearts of your faithful people. So that we can receive your good things from your generous hand, first of all make our own wills good. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose.

Philippians 2:13 (BSB)
