From the Beginning of Time

  Jesus,
you have known us from the beginning of time,
you have known us in the depths of our dreams and in the darkness of our shame,
you know us as your beloved.

Help us to own that core identity more and more in this season of repentance and mercy.
Give us the rock-solid assurance of your unwavering faith in us
as we seek the same in you.

Amen. 

 Dear God, cleanse me from anything that is blocking me from walking in victory. Fill me with peace and joy. Renew my strength so that I can soar like an eagle. May I run and not grow weary, may I walk in your ways and not fall. Help me to handle the challenges of life with boldness because I am more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus. Keep my lamp burning and turn my darkness into light. Lord, your ways are perfect, and your word is flawless. I love and adore you. In Jesus’ name, I believe and pray, Amen.
