Divine Rest

Rescue me from the reflection of me...
Take me away to rest beneath the shadow of Your wings.
Harbor not the ways of my past,
Surrender me, Oh Lord, from the addictions which suffocate--
Take me down..breathe, I cannot, on my own--
Be my breath, my everything!
May the reason I live today, be not of my own accord.

Reckless Abandonment

Now is the time for people to come alive..to live in reckless abandonment to the truth, to be enslaved by the One who has made us citizens of the light--Jesus Christ Himself!
Oh Lord, daily may we surrender ourselves at the foot of the cross, humbly seeking to surrender the old self, that which holds us hostage to the chains of sin, the violence of our minds, the confusion of our souls!
This battle begins and ends with the mind. The more we soak in the truth, in the beauty of God's Word, the more sanctified we become, and evermore aware of that which is not truth.

Oh Lord, this day is filled with the glory of Your love, the scent of You is magnificent..the trees raise their arms in praise, the mountains of grandeur, so vast..unfathomable beauty, never-ending love! Cause our hearts to be humbled by the extravagance of Your creation, the birds sing without ceasing! You are great, You are God..Creator of this universe!
May we live as a people who hold firmly to the truth, unwaver may we not in this gift of life..that our desires for that which is holy and pure overcome our desires for that which is of this world!!
