INTIMACY WITH GOD – PRAYER 2

Jesus my Lord. I come humbly before the King of Kings with gratitude and expectation. Gratitude for all the blessings all around me – my family – my work – the glory of your creation and an expectation of more and more of You, more of Your wisdom and more of Your grace.

Father You are the arms that hold everything together including me and I do need to be held together. My world is always full and challenging. There are people challenges, money challenges, health challenges and the challenging thinking that I am supposed to handle it all by myself.

Lord, I don’t want to go alone. I want to go WITH You and with a few other men.

Lord draw close. I release everything to you. The messes I have made and those I have been given. Wash over me with Your Love, Your peace, You are sufficient for all.

You say ask and it will be given.

My ask is for closeness to You. My ask is that you change my thinking. My ask is that intimacy with You is irresistible.

Lord, draw me close. I need your closeness.

Thank you for being my intimate Jesus.

Amen.

INTIMACY WITH GOD

Father God – You are good…… good…… so good and I know I am called to draw close to you and I desire to draw close and yet often I run to work, to activity, towards the world. You have designed me to work and draw close. Help me to come into your presence to allow you to wash over me and prepare me for work and to work with excellence.

Intimacy is a disorienting word, Lord. You call me to reveal and often I feel exposed. I know you know all this. You know my everything. I guess I am trying to deny or get “fixed” to be worthy of being WITH you.

Lord that is a lie. I rebuke that excuse and declare I give you everything. The good me and the broken me are all yours. Lord, I accept your love. You have made me worthy. Worthy with you, worthy from you and worthy at work.

Thank you Lord, for calling me to work and to be close. To be intimate with you. Forever I will “trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding.” I trust you with me.

Amen.
