Awake, my soul!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.

I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.

- Psalm 57: 7-9

Welcome to Seek.

We don’t want to start the journey with our words but rather with His. Grab your Bible and allow God’s Word to start molding you as you read a few passages.

Scriptures:

John 15, Psalm 63 and Galatians 2:20

Reflection:

As the day gets started, we need to take some time to empty ourselves by acknowledging our dependence on Christ. Free yourself from the lie that you have the power to live today in your own strength. Let go of the belief that you can be good enough, holy enough, committed enough to carry the day. Let yourself off the hook. Today isn’t about working really hard to make your life perfect for 24 hours.

It’s about finding rest and faith and hope in the passages above. Let the words of Christ, David and Paul guide you to surrender. On our own, we can’t live the Christian life. Of course our souls are desperate for Christ. It’s the way He designed it. Because He longs to satisfy that hunger. He’ll live His life in you today, if you simply surrender, empty and wait for Him to fill.

Take some time to be still. What do you need to let go of? What do you need to put into the hands of the One who made you and loves you? What have you been carrying for so long that your spiritual muscles ache? Lay it at the foot of the cross. The One who hangs on the tree loves you more than enough to breath life into you today.

Prayer:

Father,

I’m tired of trying to do it all on my own. It never works and I know it. I pray you would use today to set me free of all the striving, the grasping, the falling short. I pray You would take me and live your divine life through me. I surrender to that. I ask for it. I pray your Holy Spirit would guide my thoughts, my actions and my words today. Please don’t just help me live a better version of my life. Help me die to that and live to Your life in me. Meet my needs today, I pray, Glorious One. Give me strength, give me wisdom and help me shine for You.

I love You and I love that today is all about You.

In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
