Prayer: Presence in the Daily

...Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness, as he pastured the donkeys of Zibeon his father...Such a funny passage, O Lord, what could it possibly mean for my life today? Help me hold this thought as I contemplate Your Word.

The great accuser of our souls would have us believe that we are not able to stand before You, this Holy God. Yet, by Your Spirit You remind us to conquer the accuser, this fear, by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of our testimony. You tell us the confidence that we have is in You; that if we ask anything in Your Name, You hear us and we have the requests we have asked of You. Even when we do not know what to ask, You gently nudge us through the leading of Your Spirit and Your Word.

O Lord, grant us a refreshing surprise in the wilderness as we go about fulfilling quite ordinary, even mundane tasks. Grant us a sense of Your Presence in the daily, even as You did for Anah so many years ago. Thank You. Amen
