Dear Father, May I?

Dear Father, may I seek your face this very moment.

May I boldly approach your throne. Cast down, knees bent. Prostrate before you now.

Not my will, Sweet Father, not my own.

May I whisper a name, a prayer upon my heart. May I call out a situation, a pressed moment in time. Written out, laid down. Open before you now.

Not my words, Sweet Father, not my own.

Jesus, you walked before me. Jesus, you set the course. Our Father who art in Heaven, proclaimed from your voice. Heard by your Father. Connected Three in One.

Sweet Jesus, cause me to follow.

You sought God’s face before the crowds. You cried to God in the quiet of the night. High or low, for you or for others. Conversation with God sat ready upon your tongue.

Sweet Jesus, allow me to follow.

As a friend, a wife, a mom. As a writer and for those with whom I serve. As a daughter, a loved one, Yours. Boldly, I have entrance because of Jesus who bled and rose again.

Thank you, Oh Jesus, I thank you.

Who am I to deserve such access? I am chosen. I am forgiven. I am clothed in Righteousness. You first loved me; therefore, I have access always to your throne.

Bless your name, Oh my God, bless Your Holy Name!

Who You Are ~ a proclamation to God

A Morning Praise for the Love of Jesus

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 💞

In Your arms you embrace both my child and me

On the days of sorrow, I come

In the midst of the water, I come

Filled with joy and happiness, I come

You are forever here, for your voice whispers

At your feet

Before your throne

Thank you for Your love.

There is always more to proclaim!
