Father God,
Thank you for who you are! Thank you for your Son! Thank you for your Holy Spirit! Thank you for placing us where we are and for the many blessings you have poured out on us! Thank you for the Hope you have placed in our hearts. Thank you for coming for us! Thank you that you will come again and make all things right! Thank you that you fully know us and love us anyway. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Help us to be self-controlled and alert to the potential idols around us for they never satisfy. They just stir up lust for more and more. We long to live in the Light of your Presence, following your lead King Jesus, and trusting in your good plan. Help us serve you with love and faithfulness. Satisfy us, Lord, for your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. Thank you that you have an eternal hold on us and that nothing surprises you. Free us from faulty images of ourselves so that we can see ourselves the way you do in Christ Jesus' love. Illuminate our hearts so that we are more aware of your presence and live fully abandoned lives for your honor and glory in the here and now and forevermore.
Amen.
Lindy Bettis
