Daddy,
Today I declare you are holy. That seems such a ridiculous thing to have to say, but in truth, we forget that. In the midst of singing Jesus Loves Me, laying out a wish list like you are Santa Clause, and taking coffee into your sanctuary so we are comfortable in your living room, we do not hold onto the fact you are holy. You are worthy of our praise, not because of the thousand great gifts but because you are God. The sun that came up this morning is your doing. The rain that falls is your doing. The brain that controls my fingers as I type is your doing. You are greater than my mind can comprehend. Your power alone should still me in my tracks to ponder the greatness of you. I don't need to be in awe of what you give me. I need to be in awe of who you are. So today, I declare you are holy. You alone are worthy of my praise. You alone are worthy to be God, to have the position of Lord in my life. Lord God Almighty, keep my eyes set on you. Keep my eyes set on the hugeness of you. I don't mean the hugeness of you to do things for me or the power of you to work on my behalf. I mean keep my heart focused on the vast, amazingness of YOU. Just you.
Thank you. I love you. Forgive me where I love you badly.
In the Almighty, lacking nothing, name of Jesus I declare your praise and lay this petition before you knowing you hear me and answer because it pleases you to do so, Amen.
