Good morning Father,
In the middle of our often mixed up days, we hear You inviting us to return to You. You invite us to spend time with You. To talk with You and to experience once again Your great mercy and love. You invite us to come into your presence.
But often our thoughts are far from You. All of a sudden, our day becomes cluttered. The train breaks down, making us late for work. The engine light comes on in our car. We have a flat tire. We trip and fall down. We lose something or someone and our whole world turns upside down. Just by distraction, our thoughts have turned far from You. And we wonder, Father, where are You. Then comes a moment in time when You remind us of Your invitation to return our thoughts to You; we have an encounter, perhaps we have entertained an angel; who reminds us that You’re still here….watching, waiting, and loving us with immeasurable passion.
Your goodness overwhelms us. Your compassion encompasses us. Your faithfulness astounds us. And we begin to praise You for who You are.
Today, Father, as You are blessed by our praise, will You restore to us the joy of our salvation. As You are honored by our worship, will You repair our broken hearts, our broken minds, our broken bodies, and our broken families. And Father as Your Kingdom comes and Your will is done in this place, will You rebuild our lives so that we can accomplish Your plan and Your purpose for us.
Father, we ask that You in your great mercy, Forgive our sins and heal our land. Today we make a conscious choice to once again return to You. We choose to purse You and knowledge of You. Today, we choose to live to make Jesus famous.
Thank you, Father, for the invitation to return, to be in Your presence once again.
In the name of Your Son Jesus, we pray. Amen
