Heavenly Father, I desire to find my soul’s rest in You. To bow my life before You this day is a great comfort.
Looking away from myself, my fears, my shortcomings, my varied burdens, and looking to You provides my soul with hope of comfort and peace. There are many storms in my life which I know You have permitted to blow upon me.
As I look to You now in full expectation of Your covenant faithfulness and love, will You speak such comfort and peace to me in Christ?
Forgive me my sins against Your Holy Law, for not loving You with my whole heart nor loving my neighbor as myself.
Work righteousness in me that I might engage righteously in all the moments You grant unto me. And where I fail and sin, work true and deep repentance in my life. I trust You to do this for me as I hunger and thirst for righteousness through the precious presence of Your Holy Spirit within me.
May Jesus speak His victorious and powerful word over my life this day for it is in His name I pray. Amen.
