Father,
I praise you
this morning for watching us through the night. You do not sleep. You do not
slumber. You do not grow weary in your vigil over us. And I am thankful. So
grateful that even in my sleep you never leave or forsake me.
Thank you
for being so faithful. Your faith astounds me. I can never quite fully
comprehend it. Never quite understand the reach of it. I am so often unfaithful
and those around me are so often unfaithful that your faithfulness seems almost
surreal, and yet it is the most real of everything.
Father,
today prepare us for the weekend. Fill our weekend with your Presence. Show us
where you are working and help us join you there. I pray we would set aside our
own agendas and embrace yours.
Show us how,
Father.
We are like
such little children. We bumble and fumble thinking we know how to do something
and all the while we are attempting to build mansions out of Legos. Father, we
need you. Many times I have built something and stood back proud as punch about
my efforts only to come back later and find it fallen and broken. A child’s
construction.
Help us to
build so that it will last. Help us to build to meet eternity. Heavenly Father,
we want to build what will glorify you and last.
Only you can
teach us how. Please help us to have teachable spirits.
Amen
