Chris' prayer: Jars of Clay's "Overjoyed"

About five months ago, I started attending weekly Adoration/Holy Hour up at church. Before doing this, I had only been to Adoration with praise and worship music and 30-1500 other people. Never before had it just been me and Jesus (or me, two others, and Jesus).

And, to be honest, I was a little scared to go the first time. How would I fill an entire hour? Just how boring would it be? Could I possibly do this once, let alone on a weekly basis?

Now, though, I long for that hour each week. I long for that time where I can just be with my Savior and feel His presence as He sits right there before me. I long to hear the words that He implants on my heart each week.

More than anything, I long for the peace that comes in His presence. No matter what is going on that week, no matter how many things I have to do, or what might be going wrong, or what I'm worried about, during that hour, I'm able to put all of it aside, to place all of it at His feet, if only for that one hour. I have found, in a very real way, that

Thoughts of peace can overcome anything.
