A Morning Praise for the Love of Jesus

- JaclynPalmer Leave a comment

Jesus,

You are good. All morning I have been anxious to come to your feet to simply tell you exactly that. It’s funny because my heart has been expressing this truth to you throughout my morning, but there’s something grand about sitting at your feet telling you {in word} how good you are.

You are so faithful. You are mine. You wake me in the morning and whisper truth upon my heart. Lord, what a precious way to wake up. You sing over me as I kickstart my day with my little routine. All the while I hear your worship flood my soul. I postpone my time with you due to “this or that” and you join me in the This and in the That. Reminding me always that you are with me. You are here. You are in the mundane and in the schedule and in the busy and in the calm. Oh, how ever faithful you are! Oh, that you are mine!

You are my Father and I love your faithful love, your strong arms.

You are my God and I love your voice, your words, your truth.

You are my Lord and I cling to your law; I desire to behold your beauty and to obey your commandments of love.

Jesus, that Your love over me will pour out of me. I pray I will not be selfish with your love. I pray I will not be “choosy” with your love. Jesus, I pray your love will fall back at your feet – with all my heart and with all my soul and with all my mind.

Father, what a big command given to us by our Savior! Oh, that my heart, my soul, and my mind will comprehend the beauty of this command!

And, Jesus, I pray your love will lift up the brother and the sister I get to do life with today. Go before my day. Set my heart to speak your words upon them. And open my ears to receive your love from them.

You have given us a family in God. Thank you for this sweet gift of opportune love!

Jesus,

You, my precious Lord, are good.

Amen

*Matthew 22:36-40 💞

Lord, I come to you for Love.

What more is there to say?

What more is there to express?

For you and you alone are Love.

_

I long for my marriage to thrive.

I seek after the joys and the happiness.

I grasp for the smiles and the victories.

I lose my sight and then return.

Lord, I come to you for Love.

_

My child is in your hands.

In Your arms you embrace both my child and me

In Your heart you hold our dreams, different as they may be

In Your will and for your purpose

In Your timing and for your glory

Lord, I come to you for Love

_

Lord,

I come to you for Love

At the times of hurt, I come

On the days of sorrow, I come

In the midst of the water, I come

Filled with joy and happiness, I come

_

You are always there, for your word declares

You are forever here, for your voice whispers

At your feet

Before your throne

Lord, I hear your call and I come.

Thank you for Your love.

_

There is always more to say!

There is always more to proclaim!

For you, Dear Lord, are Love, true and faithful.

Lord, Thank you for calling me to Your Love.

Let’s Pray for our Fasting Life

- JaclynPalmer Leave a comment

Heavenly Father, May I pause for a moment to pray for my Fasting life and for the Fasting lives of my dear friends?

Lord God, will you settle our minds when we hear this word? Will you remove the weighty stipulations that we preconceive each time you call us to fast? Will you fill us with your peace and thanksgiving in place of our self doubt?

Lord, to fast with you is to spend deeper time with you.

May that statement be the starting point of our Fasting Life. May we see your desire for our full attention as an open door to simply…be with You.

All too often, we see Fasting as something too big and unattainable. When, Lord, Fasting is you and me. May we sit in that truth. And, Father, help us to grow in Fasting as we are/where we are. Will you guide our time together? Please teach us what our Fasting Life looks like. May it be more about your words over us and less about “what we can do or not do.” Simply, You.

I pray we will see our Fasting Life as a starting point to hearing your voice. That we will become more familiar with your words for us. And that we will be able to discern your voice above our inner thoughts and above the noise of the world.

Whether we fast with you for one hour or two, whether we spend a half a day or a full day, whether we set weekly dates or monthly, I pray we will practice this intentional time with you so we may know You. Selah.

Above all else, may I say Thank You. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to talk to you about all things and in all ways. Thank you for seeing us as the individual daughters that we are. Thank you for not being a God of expectations and obligations but of freedom and of love. And thank you for always drawing us into your arms, into your thoughts, and before your Throne.

It is before you that I pray for Fasting today.

Amen

*Jeremiah 9:23-24
