In today’s Daily Prayer, Mike goes through the prayers of John Piper for power to change our character… May it be so Lord.

1. Lord, make me so mighty in serpentine discernment that I see every opening for dove-like love (Matthew 10:16).

2. Lord, make me so mightily unmoved by the sting and deceits of injustice against me that I may feel and show the miracle of undeserved compassion (Luke 10:33; 15:20; Hebrews 10:34; 1 Peter 3:8).

3. Lord, make me so mightily unyielding to the enticements of selfishness that from my heart kindness forever flows (2 Corinthians 6:6; Galatians 5:22; Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:12).
