Psalm 4, 2013

I know you answer me when I call to you, my righteous God.

You give me peace when I am stressed;

You have mercy on me and you always hear my prayers.

Why do we, your people, turn away from having a glorious relationship with you?

May 6 Psalm 4Why do we constantly try to control the world ourselves when we’re obviously so terrible at it?

How long will we love the delusion that we can know the truth apart from you?  How long will we love the delusion that we’ll ever be happy doing what we want while disregarding what you want?  How long will we seek happiness through money and possessions?

We have been set apart for you – you always hear when we call to you.

When we lay down at night and review the day, help us confess our sins

and make a commitment to walk closer to you……tomorrow and every day.

We trust you, dear Father.

Let your light shine on us, dear God!  You bring prosperity!  You bring joy!

Because of you I have peace.

Because of you, I can lie down at night at sleep.

I am safe within your arms.

Thank you, dear Father.

Growing Roots

Awesome section of scripture in Ephesians 3!  Let’s pray this together…

Dear Father, we desire that Christ would make his home in our hearts as we learn to trust him more.

Please help our roots grown deep, down into your love so that we will be strong.

We want to know, dear God, how wide, how high, how long and how deep your love is.  

We would like to experience the love of Christ and be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that only comes from you.

We give you all the glory, God.  We know that you are able, through your mighty power, to work within us and accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Yours is the glory, dear Father, in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever!  Amen.
