During morning prayers, I feel your presence on me. Lord. I cannot even describe the feelings, the emotions when you are that close, that intimate with me!

I know that You know everything about me, know everything I have done or said, but Lord! I don’t want to go to the untouchable, tender place, the unspoken place.

Yet that is where you touch me in these moments of intimate connection. What do I have left except to give you, this day and forever after, my secrets, my shame, my embarrassment, and in the act of giving them to you, I pray for your mercy and grace that I remember them no longer.

Father God, I know you see me clean, washed by the blood of Jesus. Lord Jesus, how can I even speak my thanks? I know what you tell me: to let your salvation, your redemption, your sacrifice – for me! – shine out of me, and that is speaking enough.
