Friday Prayer

​Father,
 
This is the day that YOU have made
and we will rejoice and be glad in it!
So for this day we are GRATEFUL.
We acknowledge that we don’t enter this day because we created it,
But You gave us this day as a GIFT
Your breath in our lungs
So we give You the praise.
We give You the power.
We acknowledge Your Sovereignty
That doesn’t push us away from feeling worthless,
But it keeps us from becoming prideful.
It brings us to a place of great need for a Savior who desires to save.
Desires to protect.
Desires to draw close.
God there is nothing that you desire more than for your children to acknowledge your Presence
for in your presence there is fullness of joy.
And this joy does not disappoint.
This joy does not quit.
This joy does not grow weak.
But it strengthens us. It purifies us.
It shows us that there is a far greater Anchor for our soul than the ways of this world.
So Father I pray that we understand that there is no distance from where Your Presence is and from where we are.
It’s only our awareness of it.
So God, as we come to You in prayer,
I ask that the Holy Spirit would awaken us and cause our spirit to see You.
To get a glimpse of You.
So that we may be forever changed.
Amen
