January 12 Prayer

January 12 Prayer

Walk the road of blessing
It begins with a look,
then a sharpening of focus comes into view
as if our lense become new and the scratches removed

A first look may turn into a second gaze
one that you do not turn away from
one that you remain in
to expand your ability to enter.

Enter into the brotherhood of Jesus
He calls us there
to belong along His side
unashamed He calls us His own family
proclaims our praises
before all

Walk the road of blessing
with our eyes turned upon Jesus
looking into His face
His glory and His grace
and let the things of this earth fade away
to enter into the mission that calls you forth

Close your eyes and look for Jesus
see His face and
let him look at you

Turn your heart to pray;

‘We turn our eyes upon Jesus
We look for your glory to shine forth
in our lives and in the ones around us
We look for your grace to lead us

May your grace cover all
the helpless to find hope
The ill to find relief
the grieving to find comfort

May our first look become a
gaze into the heavenly realm
where all things of this earth grows strangely dim~

Let us each become a window for others
to sharpen their view
and see Jesus looking back at them.
Amen-

Heb.2:5-12, Is.61:1-4
