Prayer Prompts
⁣

• I have no hesitation in wishing for all the motives of my heart exposed to you Lord. “Holy Spirit, help me review my current heart attitude and emotions, whether good or disordered."⁣
• “Holy Spirit test these attitudes and emotions I have. Are they appropriate to: the truth of your love for me and replacement of your life for mine?”⁣
• “What are my deeper fears? How do I act or react because of them?”⁣
• “Are there areas where my mind and emotions have been at peace that I can thank you for?”⁣

Prayer Of The Day⁣
⁣
Thank you, gracious God, for your steadfast love and patience with me. Even though I press on in my routine of habitual emotions and attitudes, you continue to call me out of my restlessness into your mindfulness. Even when I try to hide behind the wave of emotions that flood me based on circumstances, your love neither abandons me or tolerates my evasions. Your love becomes a troubling grace that shakes my foundations and breaches my defences. Help me to let you do your disturbing work in my life. Let it become for me a mirror in which you show me what you want me to see about myself. Amen.⁣

Song⁣

I thought it would be helpful to connect this inward looking with a song for contemplation and space. With the help of some of our worship leaders I wrote a song that is current to this moment, questioning ourselves and looking inward to revisit where are solace is found. ⁣

Verse 1⁣
What voice am I listening to?⁣
Who’s the King of my heart?⁣
When fear tries to tell me he is⁣
Jesus, you are my Rock⁣

What strength am I leaning on?⁣
Cause on my own I am weak⁣
When fear tries to tell me all’s lost⁣
Jesus, you are my Rock⁣

Chorus⁣
There is one place I find solace⁣
In Jesus my hope and my King⁣
When all else around me has fallen⁣
Your refuge is all that I seek⁣

What constant is holding me?⁣
Cause on my own I fall down⁣
You surround me and lift me up⁣
Jesus you are my rock⁣

Bridge⁣
I confess all the times I forgot Your name⁣
I repent of the pride that turned me away⁣
You tore Your son from Your side to wash the blood from my hands⁣
You set my feet on a Rock and a firm place to stand⁣
