Dear Father,
I pray you will guide my eyes to the connection that matters. Father, there are so many distractions. So many connections that tug at my heart causing my thoughts to sway from what matters above all else.
Lord, I pray you will guard my ears from hearing, my eyes from seeing, my thoughts from wandering, my heart from desiring, and (quite frankly) my American blood from boiling. How easy it is to seek connection to that which is familiar, safe, expected, “normal”…
Yet, Lord, you have provided connections that set a safe guard around all of me, inside and out. Connection to You above all else. Lord Jesus, thank you for this sweet and powerful connection! Thank you for salvation! Thank you for prayer! How greatly I cling to our conversations day by day, moment by moment.
Father God, build connections within our lives that lead to Truth. How hard this is, for what is truth? Lord, we know YOU are TRUTH, but in the world around us truth is uncertain. I pray you will stir within our hearts when true facts are presented before us. Cause us to walk away from falsehoods. Lead us in the way of right thinking and set our feet on your solid foundation. Discernment, Lord! For this I pray!!
Holy Spirit, weave us within a tapestry of family focused beauty! That our ears, eyes, thoughts and steps will be encompassed by a great cloud of witnesses. That we will be filled with words of encouragement and strength founded upon Jesus Christ! That we will be surety for one another. And that through our connection to you and to one another we may share Truth to the hungry world around us.
Connect us, Sweet Savior, within the safety of Your love.
Amen
