January 20

Our Father of all time and space,
We praise You this morning for existing before days were ever formed. We worship You as God of generations past who knows no beginning, but who will fulfill our end. We honor You as the great Architect of this world and fashioning man with Your very own hand. What privilege we have to have been thought of before conception. Before we were formed in our mother's womb You knew us. You knew that one day You would purchase us with Your very own blood. You knew prior that many would reject You, but You determined to tread that lonely road in spite of the fact that the very ones You came to save would drive the nails into Your hands and feet. Forgive us Lord when we have ignorantly opened Your wounds, when we have made You relive calvary's fate. Have mercy on us O Father and invade us with Your Holy Spirit's power to go and sin no more is our prayer in Christ's beloved name, Amen.
