Lord, please challenge our limited understanding of how You are at work in our lives and the world. Your actions are not dependent on our perception or performance but are entirely about Your presence. It is Your presence that truly makes the difference... ... Help us to become more conscious of Your presence so that, regardless of what is happening in our lives and the world, we understand that You are working to fulfill Your eternal purpose.

We are living in challenging times, yet many of us concentrate on worldly, temporary matters that are fleeting instead of focusing on You and Your everlasting Kingdom. Guide us to raise our eyes as our redemption approaches. Forgive me for letting things divert my focus from You, Your Kingdom, Your glory, and Your gospel. Prevent me from becoming complacent when You have summoned me to Your Kingdom for such a time as this.

(God) I am grateful for Your presence here. I am feeling both physically exhausted and spiritually drained. I realize that this is partly because I have been putting the physical, temporary, and earthly matters above the spiritual, eternal, and heavenly ones. Please forgive me for allowing insignificant things to divert my attention from You. Guide me to give You the highest priority and foremost place in everything. You are holy, and there is none like You.

We do not know what to do so help us to set our eyes upon You... There is no one greater, mightier, and stronger than You.

You are preparing me to walk in deeper intimacy with You and as a result to fulfill the assignment that You have for me in Your Kingdom.

Consume our lives by Your presence so that people around us hear the Lord speak through us as they find themselves on holy ground.
