Prepare My Heart to Receive Your Peace, Lord

Father, show me Your truths. I want to know You in Your fullness — all that You are. I want to walk in the light of Your glory all the days of my life — to behold Your beauty, to recognize Your majesty, to know Your touch. Prepare my heart to receive Your peace and let it reign in my life.

I want my heart to be a welcoming dwelling place for You and a safe haven for those who are hurting. I want Your peace to overflow through me into their lives. People need You, Lord.

The Little Foxes are Ruining the Vine, Lord. Help!

Lord, the birdsong outside my window is glorious. The simple praise of my feathered friends brings me back to the center and reminds me that You are in the details of my life, big and small. Even the little irritants — the little foxes — can be used by You for my good and Your glory.

When I keep my eyes on You, the things of earth grow dim, they lose their power over me. When I keep my eyes on You, my heart is kept in peace and thankfulness escapes my lips.
