Prayer: Come...Stay Awhile...

O Lord God, if I have found favor in Your sight, do not pass me by.
Stay awhile. Abide with me.
Anoint me with Your steadfast love, justice and righteousness.
Delight in me as I delight in coming to know You. Teach me Your Way.
Perfect me in Your love so I may walk as You walked, O Lord.
I delight in knowing You appeared to Abram as he sat as the door of his tent in the heat of the day.
I delight in knowing You appeared to Manoah's wife as she sat in the field.
Delight me by allowing me to see You in the midst of the ordinary.
May my only boast in this life be that I know You.
Come...stay awhile, sweet Jesus. Amen
