Dear Abba,
Of all of the things I do today I want the one constant to be that I stay close to You and Your Word; not because I have to, but because I want to. Help me this day, Lord, to pray without ceasing. Not with head bowed and eyes closed, but with all my senses alert to Your abiding presence in which I live and move and have my being. I want to love You more, Jesus, because You first loved me.
Lord Jesus, be the one constant in my life. Be the center - be my everything.
ReplyDeleteMay all of my senses be alert to your abiding presence today, Jesus.

ReplyDeleteI am alert! In you I live and move and have my being. This blows me away! Thank you Jesus!
ReplyDeleteLet me stay close to you and your Word today. Let me eat it and drink it. Let me soak in it and allow it to saturate me. Change me by your Word - you are the Word, Jesus. You are our Sword of the Spirit. I want to live and move and have my being in you completely today. Amen.
ReplyDeleteI want to know you more Jesus. I want to love you with all that I am and all that I have. I want you to be my everything. Lord, show me the way.
ReplyDeleteYou loved me first. Let me never forget that. Amen.
