2/24/25 Prayer

Our Majestic God and Creator of all things, were I to count the awesomeness of Your doing, I’d run out of numbers and time. No one and nothing can capture the expansiveness of Your Beauty and Being.

I look at the beauty of the sunrise, You are there. I look at the majesty of the mountains, You are there. I look at the intricacies of another person’s eyes, how they are formed, how they capture light and sight, You are there. I look at the vastness of the ocean and the endless cresting and crashing of the waves, You are there. I look at the innocence of how a small child looks up at me in wonder, You are there. Anything that is true, good or beautiful, You are there.

How am I to respond to such magnificence and splendor? There is only one way — to worship You. 

When I experience or encounter a true, good or beautiful thing, may I look heavenward and just pause. May I stop for a moment and just say Your Name, recognize You and Your grandeur in that moment. May I not only thank You for it, but praise You for opening my eyes to see it. May I contemplate Your Beauty and Majesty.

I pray that I live my life worshiping You. Oh, how You deserve it and so much more! I pray Holy Spirit that You give me eyes to see You throughout my day, every where I look, and even within. And in this experience, I sing to You in joy. I thank You in the moment, when something simple goes my way. I give You credit when You answered my prayer, and I have the courage and opportunity to tell someone else about it, so that You may be glorified.

When I see something beautiful or awe striking, may I remember You as the Alpha, the Creator from whom all good and beautiful things flow. May I never become complacent or dulled so as not to be in wonder of the people around me, the place in which You set me, the things that I encounter, and the moments that I experience.

How beautiful You are. How gracious You are. How amazing You are. And You thought to bring me into existence to experience life with You. Thank You!

In the Magnificent Name of Jesus I pray.

Amen
