We all have days where colors are brighter, every word has meaning, and we want it to stay just like this forever…
Then we all have days where we feel grey, discontent, just old and done. Our callings feel less sure, our blessings feel more like burdens, and our joy is slipping through our fingers.
It’s a really beautiful thing to have a God thatwants to take these realities and help us with them.
It’s a really beautiful thing to have a God who is waiting for us to ask Him to make life new again, to make all these components of life come alive once again!
So let’s pray for this together–
Our Father, Lord, Friend, Helper, Great Resurrector,
In our bodies–our getting out of bed, our walking, our talking, our eating, our work and our play– please bring back the wonder of it all like only You can.
In our homes–our calendars, our finances, our family table, our conversations, our dreams–please bring back the wonder of it all like only You can.
In our marriages and relationships–our helping, our praying, our giving, our supporting, our listening, our loving–in this privilege of partnership–please bring back the wonder of it all like only You can.
In our parenting–their faces, their noise, their character, their hearts, their schooling, our pivotal role to play in their walk with You–oh Jesus, please bring back the wonder of it all like only You can.
In our ministries–on the street, in the store, to the Body of Christ within and without the Church, to the poor and the broken and the lost, in prayer or in physical action–please bring back the wonder of it all like only You can.
Come make it holy, because it is. Come make it precious, because it is. Come make it meaningful, because it is.
Amen.
