Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.
2 Chronicles 7:15
LORD, my soul rejoices in the fact that access to You is no longer bound to a place or a behavior. It is not tied to sacrifices I have made or vows I have kept. It does not depend upon Sabbaths or New Moons. No. It depends upon one thing and one thing alone: my relationship with Jesus Christ! Through Him and by Him I now have access to the eternal promise that Your eyes will be open and Your ears will be attentive to my prayers. I now can come to You at any time in any place and find You there, lovingly listening to the pleadings of my heart. Whereas in the past access to You was tied to my faithfulness, now it is tied to His! To Him be the glory forever!
I rush into Your presence today, for there I find the peace that my soul longs for and the joy that strengthens me to press on. I celebrate the fact that when I call You that You are there. Thank You for this wonderful gift of love! Through Christ Jesus my Lord I come to You with heartfelt gratitude to be embraced by Your open and loving arms. Thank You for loving me so much that You gave Your Son to me! I praise and worship You this day, celebrating Your goodness towards me!
As I carry on this day, thank You for comforting my soul by reminding me that You see me and hear me, never leaving me alone to my own devices. I can press on in confidence today knowing that it is You that has my back even as You watch over my going out and my coming in. All I can say is thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Be glorified in Jesus’ Name!
