God Breathed

Heavenly Father,

I read your word, but my heart is not stirred within me. Open my eyes to your presence indwelling the text. The scriptures are breathed out by you. Your power and glory are revealed. Your character is displayed. Yet, I feel it not. Whether it is morning tiredness or the rush of tasks, I feel distant from you. Let me cast all my cares on you this morning. May I trust you in everything I do today. You are faithful. Walk with me, father. I am aware of my need. Indeed, you who did not spare your son will give me everything I need. Raise in me a passion for you, your word, the people around me, and the work you have given me to do.

In the name of the ruler of kings. Amen.
