NIGHT PRAYER: Monday 12/6

Oh, for the grace, Lord,

    to see myself as you see me...

 

To see myself not as I wish I were

    but as the person you created and intended me to be...

 

To see myself not in the worst possible light

    but rather in the glow of your kindness and mercy...

 

To see myself with your clear vision,

    not through the filter of my poor self-esteem...

To see myself in the strength you've given me,

    not through envy of gifts that others have...

To see myself not as a failure or a loser

    but always as your unfinished work in progress...

To see myself as a sinner - yes -

    but one forgiven, saved, redeemed...

To see myself as your beloved

    for your beloved is who I am...

Open my eyes, Lord,

to see the world, my neighbor and myself as you do:

    with clarity and insight,

    with wisdom and understanding,

    with kindness and compassion,

    with mercy, grace and love...

 

You see only the truth of all that is, Lord,

    and yet you love and forgive

    my wandering mind, my stumbling efforts,

    my wayward heart and my selfish ways...

 

Help me see as you do, Lord, that I might see

    your image in my being,

    your seal upon my heart

    and the imprint of your mercy on my soul...

 

Protect me, Lord while I'm awake

and watch over me while I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen.

God sees you
He knows where you are
You are not forgotten
God knows you
He chose you
You're spoken of in heaven
Only God, Only God can see inside every human heart
Only God really knows you

 

God made you
He loves you as you are
You are not just a face in a crowd
God hears you
He's near you
And He's closer than you think
Only God, 

Only God can see

Inside every human heart
Only God really knows you
Only God truly understands the issues of the heart
Only God, Only God

 
You are God's masterpiece
When will you realize that it's true

There is a God who cares
A God who loves
A God who sees
God hears you
He's near you
And He's closer than you think
