Luke 11:29-32

Loving Divine Family,

You, Sovereign LORD, are gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love for us. You send prophets, mentors, and spiritual guides to us, warning us of the dangers lurking if we stray from your Ancient Path. We enter your sacred prayer space in search of your guidance and assurance. 

We long for loud, spectacular miracles and shows to be entertained. In our desire for extravagant exhibitions, we miss you and your message of hope and restoration. You are full of mercy, grace, and compassion. Make us aware of your loving presence surrounding us. May we long to have a relationship with you and let go of our doubts. May we put our hope in you.

I am safe within your veil today, Righteous Saviour, and thank you for…

You are our King of Glory. You are our LORD, strong and mighty in battle. We praise you for your faithfulness; although powerful nations will rise against us and you, you have already won the battle and the war. Thanks be to God!

With joy we praise you!

Amen!

Cherie and Donovan Mutschler

I find peace and joy within your veil today, Mighty Saviour, and thank you for…

Fill us with hope and mercy, so we will find joy and strength to worship you within the storms. Send the light of your love to shine over the landscape of our hearts. Lengthen the days, and set us on fire for you, so we will share your love and joy with each other as we journey together on your Ancient Path.

We journey within the veil that is your great mystery. We enter your sacred prayer space through the curtain that is the Body of Christ. You do not ask for any sacrifice to awaken your love towards us. You have already provided the sacrifice, once and for all. You invite us to come as we are. We come to you, the lost and forsaken, blind and lame, young and old, rich and haughty, proud and strong.
