Arise, oh sleeper, and see that the Lord is good. Open our hearts and minds to Your holiness and faithfulness, Lord. You loved us despite our sin and made a way to pass through the veil of Your blood and into direct access to Your courts. There is forgiveness and hope in You, only in You.
We wait for Your sweet presence as the sun rises. We rest in the glow of Your love at night. We wait and watch for Your coming more than those who watch for the morning. We trust in Your promises and pray in Your name and authority, Jesus, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“If You, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You, That You may be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope. My soul waits for the Lord More than those who watch for the morning—Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.” (Psalm 130: 3-6 NKJV)
