Father, Take My Absence and Fill it With Your Glory

Heavenly Father, take my absence and fill it with Your Glory. Lord, your grace is present even in the absence of life.

My absence today is minimal. My day got cancelled. It’s a rather minor absence in the realm of absences. So, Lord, I give my day to you. I ask that you will walk with me in Focus and Diligence. And I pray you will pour your presence in me and out of my fingers as I write throughout this day. This is my prayer for me.

My prayer for others is deeper.

Father, you care for each of us as we are and where we are. Thank you. Sweet Father, I think of friends who are facing today with tears in her eyes. I think of a friend who is starting a new journey in recovery. I think of a friend who is catching up on the life you have given her. In each of these situations, there is an absence.

An absence of love, an absence of health, an absence of routine.

Father God, each of these situations are hard. They are hard for the soul who desires to live this day for you despite the missing piece.

Oh, Dear Father, fill that missing piece with your presence! Yes, Father, with your presence.

~ Be there with her.

~ Sit with her.

~ Walk with her.

~ Live by her side.

~ And radiate your glory all around her.

Father, I ask these things for your glory, that your name will be known upon our hearts and by those around us.

In the Name of Jesus Christ we gather together and pray,

Amen
