My Precious Father,
This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it! I praise You, Lord for this beautiful day that you have presented to us. Your handiwork seen all about us is awesome indeed. How could we ever doubt Your presence and Your power when we simply glance around the world surrounding us? The Heavens stay suspended above us. The grassy meadows and stony mountains stay anchored to the earth. The ocean’s ebb and flow and stay in place by the might of Your hand. Species of flowers and trees and insects are too numerous to recognize or number. What other explanation for this glory could there ever be?
There is none like You, Lord. We are so blessed to be called Your children, knowing how many times we have failed You. Forgive us, Lord, for our sins and our failures. Keep the longing in each of our hearts to want to be more and more like You each day. Remind us when we are on treacherous trails that could lead to our sinning against You. We know that our lives will be more and more blessed as we grow more and more obedient to Your Word. I am grateful that there is no condemnation for those of us who trust in You.
“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38-39). Living in an ever-changing world, we rejoice that we can depend upon nothing ever changing and separating us from Your love, Lord.
Thank You, for Your listening ear and compassionate heart. We are confident that You know our many needs before I feebly attempt to recall each petition. Today, we ask for Your attention to be diverted especially to those who don't know You. I also ask that You touch and heal broken bodies, broken relationships, and broken lives. Move mightily on our behalf.
We are eager with anticipation as we wait for Your touch and Your answers to our petitions. More importantly, Father, we place our focus on You and Your Word as You make and mold us into the children You long for us to be.
I love you, Lord. In Jesus’ Precious Name I pray. Amen.
