“With what shall I come to the Lord And bow myself before the God on high? Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings, With yearling calves? Does the Lord take delight in thousands of rams, In ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my rebellious acts, The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:6-8 NASB
God, thank You for Your presence here. We honor You. We adore You. Please accept our humbled hearts, we thank You for the gift of living out each day, for the ability to love and be loved, for the opportunity to see the everyday wonders of Your creation. We are grateful for those things in our life that are less than we would hope them to be. Refined, broken and made new by Your mery, we trust in Your plan, yes Lord, when we are stretched and empty, still we will rejoice that You are as near to us as our next breath and that in the midst of turbulence, we grow and learn. We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray joy, we pray deliverance, we pray reconciliation, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, amen!
