Heavenly Father, you have stamped your likeness on all people. Thank you for the great dignity this embeds in us, no matter who we are. But Father, so often we have muddied up your image with our sin, or walked away from you completely. Lord, we are yours, please help us to give to you what is yours. Please help us to honour you as Lord, and recognise you as king, living under your good rule. Please make our lives to reflect that image you have planted in us, that many may look an see your goodness and grace through creatures such as us.
Amen
