Sorry that I don’t get silence, Sorry for always having the TV or other distractions there. You made me and just want to have me look at you with awe. Help me to just sit and smile at you my papa. I love you. Help me learn to just be with you! Thanks that you want me to just sit at your feet and commune with me!

The wisdom of silence and well timed right words spring from rememberance of God is one, and one is all.

Father, help me to be still. Help me to stop and listen. Help me to seek your will and not my own.

What I know is that apart from Christ I am miserable. Apart from Christ I may have temporal fun (I don’t think I can really call this happiness) but I will never have true joy! What I know is that when my eyes are fixed on Christ and Jesus is my focal point, and I am doing what I have been called to do, walking in His light, I am the most happiest. Even when the storms of life try to rock my boat, as long as my eyes are fixed on Jesus, the storm do not effect my outlook on life. I am not sure how incredible the rewards are in heaven, I know that my tiny mind has no idea how awesome it will be, but my goal are not the rewards. My goal is Jesus! My goal is to live my life for Christ. My goal is to seek the Kingdom first. God has never left me or has he never forsaken me, so why should I ever worry? I have received the greatest gift, salvation, so what troubles should concern me? What is the worst that could happen – I die? But Paul says, “To die is gain.” I can’t agree more. As a Christian, I have it made. Not in the worldly sense of having things made, but in the Spiritual sense. With Christ, anything that happens will turn out good! I am so thankful that I have Jesus in my life and that he has saved a wretch like me.

Dear Father,

Thank you for not hiding the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you for making the Gospel available to everyone. Thank you for the incredible joy that I received when I accept You as my Savior. Thank You for making me a new creation. Thank You for the treasure You have given me. Thank You for Your awesome love.

Your love is amazing to me. Thank You for speaking to me in such an intimate and personal way. I have never thought of myself as a fine pearl but as I read this passage You are revealing to me, once again, Your incredible love for me. The world wants me to think I have no value at all but You make me feel like this pearl. I feel that You have found me and that You are telling me that I am of great value and you gave up everything, Your life, for me. With Your blood, You purchased my life.

You are so awesome! I love You! Thank You!

As I sit and pray, Psalm 46:10 comes to mind, “Be still, and know that I am God”. It is 5:10 AM and the world in which I sit is silent. My wife is asleep, my kids are a sleep and it is just God and me. It is just me and God and my head full of things to do today. As I think of the things that need to get done, it makes me want to begin working so I can start checking off the things on my task list. But I cannot rush through this time with God. My relationship with Jesus is much more important than any task that needs to be accomplished today. If it is that important, God will give me the resources to get it done. If it’s that important, God will get it done Himself by whomever He chooses. It’s funny, but
God has done an excellent job before my arrival on this earth.

God you are so awesome and I thank You for this time of rest, comfort and peace. Lord, I thank You for helping me realize that there is no greater thing than to be sitting in Your lap and sharing with You the things I want to get done today. Thank You for responding to me in a way that I can understand. Thank You for guiding me and directing me. Thank You for giving my soul rest as we sit together, You and I. You are such an awesome God! I realize now that the things on my list are not important unless they also appear on Your list. Please make Your list my list and Your will my will. Thank You for Your awesome presence and Your hand on my life. I love You!

Abba,

How true it is, that I fill my life so easily with the mediocre and the pointless rather than strive for the things that I can do BEST. I have lately been convicted and inspired by Paul’s famous words of “I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who gives me strength.” Yet, I realize, how am I suppose to find Christ’s strength to do those things if I haven’t taken time to meet with The Supplier of the strength?

My daughter, she cries for me if I leave her alone for too long… she misses me! How often do I cry and call for you throughout the day, and seek to be held in your arms at every moment possible. I know that I do miss you throughout the day… but I believe I fail to recognize that my stress or my fatigue or my discouragement or whatever is ailing me is actually an indicator that I miss you.

Precious Father, I long to have to efficiency in my day to both meet with you and achieve what you want me to achieve, while putting the not-so-important tasks to the side. ….Help me focus on what makes me the MOST EFFECTIVE disciple and child of you, my King.

I love you.
