The Lord, our All in All!

Father God, we thank you for every blessing you have bestowed upon us through the new covenant in Christ Jesus. You have been our good shepherd always leading us to green pastures and still waters where you have restored our souls from the tumult and toil of this present world. We are too weak to grab hold of your hand and walk with you, our strength is lost in the fury of temptation and the pressures of this life. But O gracious Lord, in our weakness you be our strength, when we walk through the valley of darkness, you be our light, when we go through the desert, you meet us with streams of living water, when in chaos and confusion, you be our peace and when we lose earthly wealth, you be our all sufficiency. You be are all in all. We seek you not only for our temporal needs to be met, but we seek you as the all satisfying river of joy and peace. We seek you Lord that we have more of your Spirit, we seek you Lord to be changed from image to image and glory to glory of your Son Jesus Christ, we seek you with the joyful hope that One day we will see you face to face and we will be in your likeness and enjoy your presence in Heaven for all eternity forever and ever Amen!
