New day, new experience with God
Lord God,
It's another glorious day
that could've slipped past me without me noticing
or thanking you for it.
Another sunrise I almost missed.
But you whispered, "Come see me"
as I lay in bed.
So I came to the quiet place to meet you.
Thank you.
Then an hour flew by in worship and contemplation,
just because I took the time to watch you paint a sunrise.
It peeked over the horizon and hung itself in the bright blue sky.
I've taken off two days because I knew that my soul needed you
more than I needed to get things done.
It took me a whole day just to make peace with doing nothing but listen.
Forgive me.
I'm sorry I let myself get out of touch with you.
How often I miss you because I'm too busy serving you!
In a flurry to do good and make a difference,
I limit you from making a difference in me
because I'm not fully present with you.
And no matter how many times I realize that I do this--
no matter how many times I ask forgiveness for not spending time with you,
waiting for you
and listening to you--
you always show up.
Like the sunrise over the ocean every morning.
First your glow,
then your radiant color,
then your blaze of glory.
That's how you show up,
when I let you in.
Lord, come in.
Shine in me and through me and all around me.
I want your Spirit and your love to be blinding
when you rest in me.
You are always present here, waiting for me,
even when I don't come.
You are Jehovah Shammah,
and I am in awe of you.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
God is present in the company of the righteous. (Psalm 14:5)
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1)
