Good Morning, Holy Father.
We pause today, to say thank you for allowing us to be the sheep of your pasture. Thank you for protection, for provision, and most of all for your incredible presence. Thank you for love without limits, grace without measure, and mercy that flows over us in unimaginable capacities.
Father, You created a great plan for us to live in peace, joy, and contentment; and You planned for us to share Your incredible goodness with those around us. Teach us to live the way You chose for us; living in constant companionship with You.
Forgive us when we become impatient and angry. Our anger doesn’t better the world; it doesn‘t help us or our friends. Our impatience doesn’t reflect Your light to the frustrated people around us. But Your compassion and understanding passed on will benefit everyone.
During this holiday season, help us light candles of compassion for the people around us. Help us light candles of Your love, especially for those who are hurting and lonely. Help us to not think of blackness and commercialism, but of the privilege of giving, of being Your hand extended. Help us to give as freely and willingly as You have given to us.
Today, Father, we ask You to love through us, give through us, touch through us, and flow through us as we are Your hand extended to those around us.
Be blessed by our praise and honored by our worship. We ask these things in the name of Your son Jesus, the King we choose go honor and celebrate.
Amen

Job 36.26
Good Morning, Father.
Your years are unsearchable. We might be able to discover when the first wave hit the Oregon Coast. We may discover when the first start twinkled in the sky. But we will never discover when You didn’t exist, because You have always been and always will be. You aren’t bound by gravity and time like we are. As the writer said, You are greater than we can begin to understand. That’s OK. It’s an amazing gift to be part of a world where we can have a great big, wonderful, miraculous and marvelous God.
But, Father, you wanted even more for us, so you sent Jesus to earth to change everything. For the first time Heaven heard the words Your time is up. As a baby, Jesus had to leave Bethlehem because his time to be safe there was over. As a child, he had to leave the temple and go with his parents because his time was up. As a man, Jesus had to leave His home and family because that season of his life had ended. And to be our Savior, He had to die because His time on this planet was up. For thirty-three Years, Heaven’s greatest gift, was stuck in the confinement of time.
And soon, Father, the trumpet will sound and our time on this planet will be up. The pain and suffering of this life will be over and we will see Jesus at last. Only then will be able to begin to comprehend Your greatness and Your unsearchable mysteries.
Send Jesus quickly, Father. With hope shining in our hearts and with great joy we anticipate His return.
Be blessed as we praise, be honored as we worship. And let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in us today.
In the name of Your Son Jesus, we pray.
Amen

Isaiah 40:31
Good Morning Father.
Somehow your incredible love reaches into the depths of our spirits and sparks a glimmer of hope. Your hope is so powerful; perhaps even more than we can comprehend. But it is nothing compared to the real source of hope…. You, our abba Father.
When our desires, our dreams, our wishes become Yours and You channel them into Your desire for us, then nothing is impossible. You don’t live in a world of impossibilities. You see us with promise, with possibility, and You see our potential. You plant a seed of hope inside us…..an incorruptible seed that doesn’t give up. You gave us a reminder of that hope when you sent Your child to be born in a stable, providing only a manger for his bed.
You remind us today to let our hope soar with renewed strength, with renewed desire to serve You, and with renewed ability to face the challenges of today.
Thank you Father, for hope that comes from You; for strength that comes from You and for the ability to bring You honor and glory.
Forgive our sins, be blessed as we praise; be honored as we worship and receive our thanks for the hope that You put in our hearts today
In the name of Your son Jesus, we pray. Amen.
