Katie's prayer: Sean McConnell's "Madly in Love with You"

So I'm actually writing this blog on Wednesday morning. I'm a failure I know. But it's not my fault. My internet was completely down the whole day! But I think it's a good thing that I wasn't able to write until today because of the end of morning prayer this morning.

Lord, as daylight fills the sky, fill us with your holy light. May our lives mirror our love for you whose wisdom has brought us into being, and whose care guides us on our way.

It just reminded me so much of the lyrics for this song

Every morning sunrise says I'm madly in love with you.

Sunrise marks the beginning of a new day. How awesome is it that God sends us a new day. A time to start again. Another chance to be better. Another chance to be more like him. Another chance for us to realize just how much he loves us and wants to be with us!

Megan's prayer: Sean McConnell's "Madly in Love with You"

Someday you'll understand

I feel like I was told this a lot as a kid. During those times, I just had to trust in the person saying it to me. I had to trust that they knew better, and that even though I didn't know the reason behind things, they wouldn't lead me astray.

I feel like my relationship with God is constantly like this. I'm having to trust in him, without knowing the full meaning or reason behind what I'm doing.

I have a hard time with this trust sometime. I have a hard time not knowing the reasoning behind what I'm being asked to do.

I think with a little more trust in God, and knowing that he knows what's best for me, I'd be able to serve him better instead of always questioning him.

Jen's prayer: Sean McConnell's "Madly in Love with You"

I know you wish you could see me
That’s the way it has to be
Someday you’ll understand,
Don’t you lose your faith in me

I know you wish you could hear me
Sometimes it’s so hard to do
But every morning sunrise it says
I’m madly in love with you

I love songs like this...where it's like I'm hearing what Jesus is saying down to us. I'm pretty sure Jesus has been saying similar things to me today as the verses above. He's telling me what to do and saying, "Jen, don't lose faith in me. I've got this. I know it's hard because you can't see Me, but I'm here and I'm showing you the signs that I love you." I just have to open up my heart to see it and believe. Tonight I pray that I would open my heart to feel the Lord's love.
