Lord, we come before you. Asking Lord, that you might help us to quiet our hearts before you. We come before You, Lord, acknowledging the fact that we have sinned and we have fallen short of your glory. And so we come to you, Lord, not in our own righteousness.
But we do come to you, Lord, in the righteousness of Jesus. We come to you, Lord, by way of the blood of Jesus, by way of his sacrifice on our behalf, we come to you, Lord, in faith, knowing that it is not by works of righteousness, For we have none. But we come to you on the basis of the righteousness of Jesus Christ, and we thank you, Lord, that we have access to you, and we pray, Lord, that with the time that we have, Looking at your word and considering your word together, Lord, we pray that you would, just open the eyes of our hearts, you illuminate your text for us and help us to lay hold of not just what you say, but to lay hold of you, the one who would speak to us, help us to find ourselves worshiping you, that we would be in, in awe of you. That Lord, we would be blown away by your greatness.
Reveal Yourself to us. And we pray these things in Jesus' name. Amen. Have, have you ever been lost?
Think back to a moment in life in which you felt lost. Maybe you were lost in the sense that you did not know how to do something, or maybe you were lost in the sense that you did not know how to get to a destination that you were needing to go to. So have you ever been in your car, for example, on your way to a place and all of a sudden it's like you're not sure of where you are going? Has it ever happened to you?...
