‘O Sovereign LORD, you have only begun to show your greatness and the strength of your hand to me, your servant...
JOHN 17:24 (CEB)
Father, I want those you gave me to be with me where I am.
THE ESSENCE
God wants to be with his people and to reveal himself.
DAILY FODDER
Why is it that sometimes God seems eager to reveal himself to his people but at other times he cloaks himself in mystery?
PRAYER
Glorious God, thank you for reaching out to us — especially in those moments when we need to see your strength. I regret, though, that I squirm when I realize how much of a mystery you remain, even after experiencing your salvation. Teach me to be content and to trust you to drive our relationship. My faith doesn't require that I need to know every little detail. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.

Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
