Father, Your love and compassion is as vast as the heavens and as deep as the oceans. Your steadfast love gives us many second chances even as we continue to sin against You.

Father, what do we know about Your greatness? We sing about it. We read about it from Your word. We hear stories of what You’ve done. We see glimpses in our own life.  But Lord, You know how little we truly esteem Your greatness. Even the best among us, hold to only a shadow of

Father, we confess that Your ways are often far above us – far beyond our comprehension. We believe we are following You. Yet our courage and tenacity are often tested. Many times, we think we have You figured out. That we know the outcomes You desire. That we know what You want of us. Until

Father,  Your amazing love has no end. You even sent Your Son to give us peace on earth and peace with You. But have we not messed things up in our families, our workplaces, our schools or even our church? We think we are wise enough to run things without the wisdom of the Wonderful
