Know, Love and Praise

Grant to me, O Lord, to know what I ought to know, to love what I ought to love, to praise what delights thee most, to value what is precious in thy sight, to hate what is offensive to Thee. Do not suffer me to judge according to the sight of my eyes, nor to pass sentence according to the hearing of the ears of ignorant men; but to discern with true judgment between things visible and spiritual, and above all things to inquire what is the good pleasure of thy will.

Prayer of Thomas a Kempis

Search Party

Search me and know me, O God, and know my heart. See if there is any wicked way in me. Try me, test me and know my thoughts. Lead me in the way everlasting. Guide me along the pathways of righteousness.

Your power goes beyond physical boundaries. Your love sustains us no matter where we go. Help us to accept your faithful love and share that love to those we meet today.

In Jesus name, Amen

You Know Everything

Lord, you have examined me and you know me. You know everything I do; from far away you understand all my thoughts. You see me, know all my actions. Even before I speak, you already know what I will say.
You are all around me on every side; you protect me with your power. Psalm 139: 1-5

In the name of Jesus, help me to take full advantage of the good and perfect gifts you have bestowed upon me and by your power strengthen my weaknesses. With your help, discouragement and temporary setbacks will not overtake me. Lift my eyes to the horizon to see victory waiting in the wings. Amen.

Search Me

Search me and know me, O God, and know my heart. See if there is any wicked way in me. Try me, test me and know my thoughts. Lead me in the way everlasting. Guide me along the pathways of righteousness.

Your power goes beyond physical boundaries. Your love sustains us no matter where we go. Help us to accept your faithful love and share that love to those we meet today.

In Jesus name, Amen

Search, Know and Love

O God,
Search me, know me and love me. I turn my face to the wall to commune with You. Satisfy me with your steadfast love that I may rejoice and be glad all my days.

Come gently to my secret places where my intimate self dwells. Give me the confidence to lower the barriers carefully constructed to protect me from intrusion. Gaze upon the passionate landscape of my interior life; tend to my weary soul, renew my mind with your words and refresh my spirit with your presence.

Lead me to that place where my ears hear your voice more clearly; where my heart composes new songs; where my voice gathers the strength it needs to sing; where my mind finds the rest it needs from the jangling discords of life; where my eyes see you everywhere in everything and in everyone.

O God,
Search me, know me and love me. I turn my face to the wall to commune with You. In communion with you help me to celebrate the divine gift of Being
Being still
Being alive
Being in your presence.

In Your name, Amen
