Always More For Jesus to Heal

Sunday Psalm 10.20.24

Father God 
Lord Jesus
Holy Spirit

We present ourselves before You again this Sunday.
We are a broken and needy people.
None of us is sufficient onto ourselves.
No one is complete.

You made us and we belong to You.
That may feel scary to some of us
Because we don’t truly trust
That your intentions toward us
Are for our good, always.

We have been taught and we assume
You are an attentive and concerned Father.
But we’ve not actually experienced enough of
Your deep work in our wounded hearts.

Is anything harder than letting You probe
The deepest parts of our pain?
You know that, so You don’t barge in.
You wait for our invitation before You 
Dig deeper, expose more lies.

We may even think we don’t believe
Lies about your character and purpose,
But everyone does. Only You, Jesus, 
Showed us a life of utter truth and honesty.

Give us, please, a willingness to let You in. 
A desire to let You meet us in our deepest pains.

We will never give up inching towards You.
There’s always more for You to heal.
And the best will be here before we know it,
When all will be well, all will be well, and
All manner of thing will be well.
Amen.
