So here’s my prayer, gracious Father, I don’t really need to soar like an eagle, as fun as that might be, and I’m not seeking to run like a sprinter or a marathoner. Just walking upright… with a renewed heart, a steady gate and a refreshed sense of your presence, will be enough. I’ll not be greedy, but grateful for daily gospel-bread.
Therefore, my hope is in you, merciful Father, the God who raises the dead. I’ll trust you for all the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical strength I will need to live out the implications of the gospel today. Though I am tired and though I am weary, I do not doubt or question your great and lavish love for me in Jesus. Nothing can separate me from your love. So very Amen, I pray, in Jesus’ tender and triumphant name.
