“When morning gilds the skies, my heart awakening cries, may Jesus Christ be praised!” is the first line of an old song that calls us to worship first thing in the morning. I confess, Lord, my heart isn’t always praising you as I should when you give me another day, another opportunity to serve You. You are worthy because of Good Friday and Easter. You are worthy because of the 33 years you lowered Yourself to being a man and yet still God. You are worthy because You still sit at the Father’s side petitioning on our behalf when we don’t even know what or how to pray. You are worthy because you have all power, all authority both in heaven and here on earth. You are worthy because of Your great love, mercy and grace made a way for us as created beings to come before our creator and commune with You. Thank You, Jesus for the blood, the way and the life You lived to reconcile us to Yourself and the Father. In Your great name I pray.

Day 5: Lent 2024
Thank You, God, for the opportunity to come into Your house and worship You with fellow believers. So many believers across time and this present-day world never have had the chance to experience this blessing due to oppression. The Psalmist said, ‘I was glad when they said unto me, let us come into the house of the Lord’ and I amen that statement. Throughout my life, joy has been associated with going into Your house and singing songs of praise. I have also worshipped through heartfelt testimonies and prayers offered in church. I am grateful that You have provided men and women of God that have both taught and preached the Word in a way that has been winsome and convicting. I continue to pray for the furtherance of Your church, Christ’s bride, in a world racked with darkness, pain and evil. May my worship acceptable be in Your sight, my sole audience of One.
