Father, my sick self cannot demand Your presence.
I am incapable of understanding
the vastness of my offenses toward You, a Holy God.
The distance between You and me can appear
as great as the span of the infinite universe.
Yet, through Your provision of Jesus Christ,
my repentance, and recognition of my need,
this immense span shrinks to the mere distance
that exists between my heart and mind.
Father, help me to see, that while I am in Christ,
You are with me.
Father, bless me with the knowledge of Your presence.
Help me walk into this day, with confidence and hope,
and love You and others.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners,
Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
