Father God,
I come into your presence so aware of my human frailty and yet overwhelmed by your love for me. I thank you that there is no human experience that I might walk through where your love cannot reach me. If I climb the highest mountain you are there and yet if I find myself in the darkest valley of my life, you are there. Teach me today to love you more. Help me to rest in that love that asks nothing more than the simple trusting heart of a child.
In Jesus name, Amen
(from Sheila Walsh, “Let Go”)
“I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence!
If I go to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there.
If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.”
(Psalm 139:7-9, NLT)
Today I am linking with Give Me Grace and Still Saturday and Spiritual Sundays and Scripture & a Snapshot and Sunday Stillness .
So blessed that we escape His presence! Hope your Sunday is full of rest and blessings!
Holly, I cannot tell you how grateful I find myself that I cannot escape His Presence. Even should I try, He sticks with me!
Thank you for sharing this prayer! I hope you enjoy a blessed Sunday.
Your scripture and image remind me of a trip I took to Iceland and the time I spent there on the largest glacier Vatnajokoll. Amazing how his presence was felt even there. We can’t escape His love. Praise God for that. love you for connecting today,for being part of the first #GiveMeGrace weekend. Love you friend.
Lisha, I loved that you shared of your trip to Iceland. My son & DIL went there for their honeymoon last year and LOVED it! The beauty & majesty of God was so evident in every photo they took. May God bless you as you continue building a community of grace. I am so grateful to be a part!
Thanks for such a great post and prayer.
