July 2

Dear Father,
We lift You up in our hearts and minds this morning. You are our first thought and our last. We welcome You into our secret chambers. We ask that You search us and know us and try us; we long to come forth as gold. Discard any dross, any waste. Do all that You must for our refinement O Lord. We say these words with somewhat hesitation for we know not what will come. But we can rejoice for we do know that You only have our best welfare at heart and nothing will grace our path except that You personally inspected it. Do in us what You will Father to make us more like the Son we pray in His holy name, Amen.
