Seeking God to Manifest His Presence
Krystal Cooper

Thank you that we may enter your presence with joy and expectancy. We admit that many times in our lives we have strayed from You, ignored You, tried to hide from You, or have even been oblivious to Your presence. Help us to consistently seek You not only day to day, but moment to moment. Let the knowledge of the Spirit’s presence cause Your light to radiate from within us. Light the path for us in our walk as we trust in You. Let our paths be lit by Your radiance as we walk in the truth of the Word, the peace of the gospel, and the unsurpassing greatness of knowing You through Jesus Christ.
Father, we pray that Your kingdom radiates outward from within us that family, friends, coworkers, and even strangers may see the light, by which we walk. Allow us to witness boldly about that light, which has come into the world. Open the eyes of our loved ones that they might see you and know You as the source of life, truth and even all creation. Father, expose the sins of this world by Your light, allowing those who do not yet know You to yearn for redemption and find it in an encounter with the risen Lord Jesus.
We admit that we are not always rooted in the Word as we should be. Restore the joy and ignite the passion that we once received when we first heard of our King. Let the flicker of hope inside of us turn into a blazing fire as we are consumed and refined by Your Word. Let us thirst for You during the day and hunger for Your Word at night. Let us fall asleep with the passion of the gospel on our hearts and awake with the expectant joy that comes from believing it. Let us know that You alone will satisfy us. You alone quench our thirst. You alone are the Bread. Let our hope be only in You.
Amen.
