My Sunday Morning Prayer

Sunday morning, and millions of Christians all over the world are tuning in to Christian programs, coming before You in their homes and places of quiet, entering houses of worship. All with the intent of giving You praise and honor, and seeking more of You.

Why? Why would we think the God who created mountains and ocean trenches, galaxies and microscopic systems would be interested in anything we have to offer? Even our best is never all You deserve.

Why would we think the God who oversees the world -- for ages!! -- would want to speak to us, dwell within us, move us, exalt over us? We are stiff-necked and self-sufficient by our nature. We exist for only a split-second in all eternity.

Because of who You are, made possible by what You have done! Praise Your name, O God! Glory to You, O Father!

"The Lord your God is with you,

    the Mighty Warrior who saves.

He will take great delight in you;

    in his love he will no longer rebuke you,

    but will rejoice over you with singing." ~ Zephaniah 3:17 (NIV)
