A Prayer


       Sometimes I think we, as children of the Almighty God, need to focus attention on Him instead of all the things going on in our lives.  We see life as if through a dark glass (1Cor. 13:12) because we can’t see the whole picture like God does.  That is why we need to put our trust (Is. 12:2) completely in Him and not what we plan out (Pr. 19:21).  So, today I’d like to pray this (I hope) for all of us.

Holy Lord,
You are an awesome God; full of grace and all power.
Thank You for giving us life and redeeming us from our sins.
Thank You for never leaving us even when we act rotten or ignore You.
Consume us with Your holy fire* to burn away all sin- and walls between us.
Give us a strong desire to be with You and know You as much as possible.
Help us know You more, hear You more, be with You more and love You more.
Help us to trust You more.
We want You Lord, more than life or breath.
Be with us today.
We await Your presence with excitement.
Amen



*For our God is a consuming fire.  Heb. 12:29
