November 14

Dear Lord,
what comes to our mind this morning is our deep, unending longing for Your Spirit. We realize that we cannot exist spiritually without Your abiding within us. We are so faulty, Lord. We fall short of Your glory, no matter how hard we try. We sum it up as; we are pretty decent people. We are not in prison for murder. We are not on drugs. We have never seriously done anything too bad. But You, O God, are examining the true condition of the heart. In this, we are left wanting. Without You, we will never attain. Breathe on us breath of God. Fill us with life anew, until our heart is pure and we are wholly Thine. This is our sincere prayer in the name of our Shepherd. Amen.
