Everlasting Love

Lord,

with all that I am, I praise you,

please let me never forget your faithfulness,

your goodness towards me.

You forgive all my sins,

you heal all my diseases,

by your stripes, I am healed.

You have redeemed my life from the pit,

and love me with an evelasting love,

granting your tender mercies and kindness.

My life is full,

overflowing with good things, blessings,

you’ve restored the joyful innocence of my youth.

You show yourself to me,

compassionate, gracious,

slow to anger, always kind love.

You know how weak I am,

fragile, fleeting… here today, gone tomorrow.

But your love is an everlasting love,

neverending and forever.

I praise you and thank you for your salvation,

thank you for your love!

May I praise you with all that I am, forever.

Amen.

Forgiven By God

Lord,

I believe.

You are the Lamb of God,

who came to take away

the sins of the world,

washing me forever clean

of all my wretchedness,

plucking me out of the miry clay,

taking my cursed life,

and turning it into blessing.

Messiah, Redeemer,

Son of Man,

Holy God,

Yeshua you are Lord,

King of Kings,

Lord of Lords,

there’s none greater,

no one like you,

you are glorious,

holy, and beautiful,

I worship you Lord,

may your Name be forever praised!

Amen.

Let Me…

Lord,

Let me…

be wise,

and trust your Spirit,

your Word,

leading and guiding me into all truth⁠—

peaceable, full of light,

gentle, sincere,

considerate, and merciful.

Let me…

trust your heart

for you are good,

generous, and kind.

You are tender and caring,

knowing every hair on my head,

your thoughts outnumbering

all the grains of sand on the seashore.

Let me…

be at rest,

knowing my life is in your hands

working all things for my good,

for you glory.

Let me never stop praising you… always!

I bless you Lord.

Amen.

Love of God

LORD,

pour your grace upon me

to love you more.

Spirit, put the love you have for my Lord,

Lord, the love you have for the Father,

Father, the love you have for your Son,

within my heart.

Reveal to me,

grant me favor to understand,

this perfect fellowship of love,

gazing upon the beauty,

holiness, and light of your presence.

I praise you for the glimpses I see,

the tastes of eternity you gift,

in loved ones, close friends,

gathered around a meal,

the fellowship of sister and brothers

in your Spirit, worshipping and loving you.

I pray for more,

that your love would abound still more and more,

and the world see you

through the love we have for one another.

Let it be so,

let your Name be praised.

Amen.

My Abba

Abba Father,

I love your presence,

I love you and your loving kindness.

Thank you for your discipline,

I know it’s because you love me,

help me to embrace it

even when it stings and hurts

and my flesh balks at obeying.

Help me to be wise,

listen and obey—

I know it’s the way of life.

I’m most myself with you,

no pretenses,

no self deception,

no more striving.

I can’t believe you’d care so much for my heart,

my joy, my peace,

that you wouldn’t let me settle

for all the lesser things I’d desired.

I’m grateful for closed doors,

all the frustrations and pain.

It’s led me to discovering you—

and slowly finding me.

I love you Abba.

Amen.

Loving Father

Father,

you are such a good, good dad.

Thank you for your love,

for creating me,

making me in your image,

unique,

fearfully and wonderfully made.

I’m amazed at your delight,

that my joy and peace would make you happy.

My heart at rest,

not striving anymore,

just being me,

and loving you

with the gifts you’ve given me,

what brings me life and joy…

that you’d delight in that…

thank you.

You’re such a good, good Father.

Let me delight in you,

in the same way,

knowing your heart, personality, character rightly,

loving what you love,

hating what you hate,

just being close,

and enjoying your presence.

Thank you for saving me,

drawing me to your Son

and opening my heart.

I could never have come on my own,

but only by your grace and mercy,

thank you forever.

I love you Father.

Amen.

Known And Blessed

Lord,

I’m astounded by your care,

you’ve numbered every hair on my head,

you’ve sewn every stitch of my soul,

every word in my mouth,

movement of my heart,

you already know.

You watch me with care,

my lying down, going out,

my habits, quirks, and ways,

better than I know myself.

You understand and intimately know me.

I can rest,

trusting your guidance and counsel

is perfect for me,

as you hem me in from behind,

and go before me.

Lord, grant me a pure heart,

renew a right spirit within me,

remove anything in me that hinders your love,

please lead me in the way everlasting.

I praise you and thank you,

Lord of my life.

Amen.

Sweet Intimacy

Lord,

thank you for drawing up the emptiness,

exposing the loneliness,

showing me the depths of my heart

that only you are meant to fill.

I praise you that you’d draw me close,

close as a friend,

away into your chambers,

intimate as a bridegroom,

and I receive you Lord

inviting your presence,

fill me with your Spirit,

dwell within me.

Draw me close,

hold me near,

help me to follow where you call.

Let me not resist,

hold back, hesitate,

but grab hold of your hand,

and be with you,

as close as you would let me be.

I love you Lord.

Amen.

Love All Around

Beautiful Lord,

open my eyes

to see your love all around,

ocean swells buoying me up,

lifting and carrying me

through the flotsam and jetsam of the day.

Thank you for the all the ways you love me

that I don’t even know,

I’m not even aware of,

help me to never take you for granted.

Pierce through the veil

and let me see beyond

that I may perceive your reflection

in the one standing in front of me,

those all around me,

that your love wouldn’t stop with me,

but would catch fire,

and grow and grow,

that a bonfire of praise would arise

from all around,

all the way up to the heavens

and bless your heart.

I praise you Lord.

Amen.
