Abba,
You are the reason I breathe. You are my strength. You are my rock. Every morning You allow me to wake up I am covered by Your protection, Your grace and Your mercy. Every day is a new beginning because of You. I have a peace on the inside of me that I never knew was possible. You sit high above the heavens as the all-knowing, almighty, glorious, and holy Creator that You are; yet for some reason I will never comprehend why You care about me. Every single detail of my life, You are interested in. As my Father in Heaven you are completely invested in every minute I live. You see every tear I cry. You hear my heart when I can’t form the words (which is quite often) to express how I feel. You are always moving things around, for MY good.
Without you, Father, I am nothing. I am dirt. In fact, the more I grow to know you Lord, the more I realize just how filthy I really am. I don’t deserve to know you. I don’t deserve Your love, especially Your forgiveness. My debt to You is incomprehensible. Immeasurable! Therefore, it is my pleasure to serve You oh God. My life, my body, my future, my soul is YOURS. Do with them as You please, even when I don’t understand Your ways. Your love for me is undeniable, thus Your will is unmatchable. What a fool I was to think I could do life on my own. I can’t do anything without You, not even blink. I need You Father. Every second of every day.
I know You are real. I FEEL You. I HEAR You. You make life worth living Lord. Daily I seek Your presence and am constantly amazed how often You speak to me. I long to see Your face. I long to hear Your laugh. My soul thirsts for you in such a way nothing in this world can satisfy. The moment I take my last breath and am joined with You in eternity will be the best moment of my life. My greatest desire, is to be completely and utterly engulfed by You. And praise to Jesus Christ for making it possible!
Thank you Lord. I have everything I need and everything I don’t deserve. Thank you for renewing me inside and out. You’ve completely transformed me. When I think about the woman I was 10 years ago, even 4 years ago, I cringe. You continuously challenge me. Make me step my faith game up. You allow me to be placed in situations where I have no choice but to pray. For some reason, you have placed such a burden on my heart to pray about every and anything I see or hear. All day I bring petitions and names before Your throne. And You answer before I even say ‘Amen’. That will forever amaze me. That little ‘ol me, who is like a grasshopper to You, can not only approach You at any time, but that You hear me AND grant my requests. Thank you. I can’t thank you enough. And I love You. Have I said that today? Well, I do.
Father, I just want You. If that means I’ll be made fun of, ok. I’m used to that (lol). If that means I will live an abundant life, then hallelujah! Either way, please know You are all I want. You are all I will ever need. And as long as You give me strength, I will give Your name the glory for whatever comes in this life.
