Renew

Heavenly Father,

As I reflect, I see how foolish I have been. I so readily choose sin over your law, over you. We are surrounded by a world that does not seek you. The truth feels like a myth because of all the lies that exist in the ether around us. Would that your salvation would come quickly. Cut through the lies and peer pressure to please the world. Let us see your face with clarity. May the majesty of your face overwhelm our senses and block out all the competing voices. We long to rejoice unhindered, in the pure joy of your companionship to have our hearts resonate with praises to you, our king. Our spirit knows that this fallen world is not what we were meant for. So we pray that you would bring your kingdom. Comfort the afflicted, bind up the brokenhearted, and give justice to the downtrodden. Renew us and use us as conduits to change the world.

In the name of the ultimate liberator. Amen.
