Lord, open up our eyes to see as You see, to not be distracted by other things in our view that move us away from You. Please, God, get up in our face. Invade our space. Make sure we SEE what You’re doing, such that we can’t miss it. Grab our face in Your hands and hold our gaze, Lord. We need You. Now more than ever.

Open up our ears to hear Your voice over all other voices. Captivate us with the songs You’re singing over us, so that we catch the tune and sing along. Let us hear Your heart for the nations and join in those prayers to see Your Kingdom come. Move us at the sound of Your voice. Don’t let us become stagnant or complacent. But speak so clearly, so powerfully to our hearts that we tremble with holy fear of the Lord and fall on our faces before You, completely surrendered and overwhelmed with awe at Your beauty and majesty and love and power. And OBEY You.

Open up our hearts to beat with Yours, Lord. As we look at the people around us, distract us from our judgments and criticisms with LOVE and GRACE and TENDERNESS. Break our hearts for what breaks Yours and open us up to truly love those around us. To stop making every situation about me. And to finally become about truly loving You and loving others.

Draw us into Your arms of love so we can love others, not in the way we think we should, but with Your powerful, life-transforming love flowing through us like a river to touch, renew, knock down the old and cleanse with the new. Flow through us, before us, around us, and behind us everywhere we go this year, so that everyone who knows us gets “wet” with Living Water, and thirsts for more of You, until they all dive into that River themselves.

Make us lights in others’ darkness, shelter from their storm, and confident in our own Light and Shelter in You. In Your name. Amen.
