Today I Pray

Dear Lord Our Father In Heaven,

The skies are a brilliant Carribean blue this morning Lord which brings so much light to the sky and joy to my heart. I think it’s funny I would start this prayer with a color description because I was thinking about my new box of colored pencils and your glorious array of colors as I was reading my morning devotions.

Your presence is always with us even when we get so busy with our day that we fail to notice. Lord, I humbly ask for eyes that notice, a spirit that senses; being aware of you each moment of the day. To not get into such a rut or routine that you become background scenery that blends invisibly, taken for granted.

To walk in the beauty of the world before us taking delight in the wildflowers dotting the landscape put there for our viewing pleasure. To take a lesson from the clouds that drift lazily across the sky, reminding us to slow down a bit and take a breath of our glorious fresh air! To look up and smile because we know you are there.

To stop focusing on the darkness, weirdness, calamities, and destruction that is screaming for our attention and instead focus on you, your hand upon us, and the beauty you’ve given us; glimpses of heaven every day if we will only slow down long enough.

Thank you, Lord, for the Roses. 🌹
