Prayer from Job 42:1-6

Heavenly Father, I long to see You in the way Job did.  Though our minds can be full of You, it's not through our minds that we reach You.  It's Your grace.  Allow me to know when I'm trying to speak of You without truly knowing You.  

Job 42:3, Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wornderful for me to know.  

Father, help me to listen.  You are the greatest listener there is and have set a high bar.  I have so much to learn from You.  It's by Your grace I will hear You speak.   

Job 42:4, You said, "Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me."

Father, may I behold Your presence in and around me.  May I realize the grace to be found in You.  May I come into this knowledge through Your Son Jesus.  Like Job, I believe if I see you it will lead to me despising myself.  I believe I will want to change my selfish ways for Your other-oriented love.  Help me today to repent of anything selfish in my life.  Help me repent of anything that blocks my growth in Your love.    

Job 42:5-6, My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.  Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.

Amen

Father, help me to so desire You and Your healing in my life that I don't care who notices my cries for You or who tries to shut me up.  Thank you for the example in Bartimaeus.  He threw off all retraint when he heard You were near.   He wanted healing.   He beleived You could do it.   He had faith.   Help me today to not be afraid to cry out to You in my weakness.  You are near.  You are ready to respond.   Amen

Prayer from Luke 1:68-79

 Heavenly Father, “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them. 69  He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David 70  (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago), 71  salvation from our enemies      and from the hand of all who hate us— 72  to show mercy to our ancestors      and to remember his holy covenant, 73       the oath he swore to our father Abraham: 74  to rescue us from the hand of our enemies,      and to enable us to serve him without fear     in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;  for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation       through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tend...
