Come Pray With Me

It’s Monday Lord, and I need you. I’m standing here asking to be reminded of the tenderness your presence brings. I don’t need to strive or push my way into your love. You are waiting to enfold my heart in the truth, that I am being made into your image of beauty and perfection with every surrendered yes towards you that comes out of my weak lips. Thank you for being kind, and patient with all the places of hesitation in my soul. You are showing yourself to be the champion I have ached for my entire life. Your faithful answers to my heart felt, desperate cries for help, teach me what it means to be joined to you in agape love. A love that reaches towards the lowly and raises them up. Thank you that you will not break a reed that is bruised, nor will you stomp out a flickering wick. Help me to love others this way today. Gently, openly, and with transforming compassion. Help me to give to you every wrong done against me. Every secret offense. Every selfish ambition. May I yield to the beautiful grace that surrounds my life, and rest in your friendship.
