Grace us this week with your presence, O Lord, that we may focus our hopes and our work in you. Amen.
We sometimes wander aimlessly in search of happiness or peace . . . when all the while we do not notice that God has gifted us with a beautiful Eden in which to live.
We sometimes are so intent on completing tasks and chores that we miss the beauty surrounding us . . . when all the while we rush past opportunities to build relationships that will bring us joy.
We sometimes see all windows and doors as closed or obstructed pathways . . . when all the while Christ waits on the other side for us to knock and seek.
Let us spend some time with Psalm 145 today . . . and let us learn to trust in God alone.
The Lord sets captives free . . . let us ask for our own freedom from fear.
The Lord gives sight to the blind . . . let us ask to be healed of our own blindness.
The Lord is good to all . . . let us put away our childish envy and see that God has enough for all.
The Lord is just in all his ways . . . let us strive to act in justice each day.
The Lord is gracious and merciful . . . let us forgive all those who have harmed us.
The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in love . . . let us put aside all anger and anxiety.
The Lord is trustworthy in every word . . . let us treat all whom we meet with openness and honesty.
The Lord is worthy of high praise . . . let us praise God joyfully and without ceasing.
The Lord is near to all those who call upon him in truth . . . Come Lord Jesus, come!
When we trust in God we find new strength to open old doors. When we trust in God we find transformation. When we trust in God we are restored in newness.
