Daily Prayer - 2014-05-17

Presence

"Come to me all you who are burdened
and I will give you rest"
Here I am, Lord.
I come to seek your presence.
I long for your healing power.

Freedom

Lord grant me the grace
to have freedom of the spirit.
Cleanse my heart and soul
so I may live joyously in your love.

Consciousness

Conscious of your presence Lord
I look over my recent past.
I can be honest with myself about how I’ve been and what I’ve done
Because I know you love truth in the heart and accept me just as I am.

The Word of God

John 14:7-11

If you know me, you will know my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.’  Philip said to him, ‘Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, “Show us the Father”? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the works themselves.

Some thoughts on today's scripture

Active
Default
  • Philip says, ‘We will be satisfied’ - it sounds like a prayer that begins, ‘All I want is…’ Help me, Lord, to seek your will and not my own.
  • Jesus realises that Philip does not really know him. I may wonder, too, if I really know Jesus. I pray that my heart and mind be open to learn from Jesus who always yearns to teach me, to help me to grow in love.

Conversation

Dear Lord, help me each day
to seek your presence more and more.
Fill my heart with love for you.

Conclusion

Filled with the loving presence of God,
Ask Him to bless you and guide your steps
As you go to do His work in your daily life.

Amen
