O Lord God Almighty, Father of Glory - we turn our gaze upon you. We make that shift today with our faces turned towards you. For too long we have sought comfort & reprieve from the world that we live in. For too long we chased after pleasures that do not profit our souls & cannot satisfy the deep longing in the innermost recess of our beings. We looked for answers but received none. We looked for encouragement but were always met with despondency. We thought we would find light, but we stumbled in deep darkness much to the peril of our own lives. Father, we look no further to broken cisterns that can hold no water. We turn our gaze to You, the Giver of Life. In you Lord, we have found much encouragement. In you, we find rest for our souls. We have hope because of the gift of your dearly beloved Son &because of His work of redemption on the cross we are united back to you Our Father, Our Creator, Our God who alone can fill the deepest longings of our hearts. Our eyes now turn upwards, Our arms wide open to a Loving, Gracious & Welcoming Father waiting for us to lay hold of You & find peace & tranquility in your sweet embrace. We make the shift today from looking to the world that is fleeting away to the Eternal God our Father to gaze upon your unfading beauty and seek your face forevermore. Amen!
