Today's Passage: Genesis 1:1-2
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Today's Prayer: Elohim…God…
The fact that you have existed from the beginning of all time is incredibly reassuring to my heart. So often, I get caught up with the details of my own life and forget that it is meant to be part of the grand story You have been writing from the beginning of all time.
I confess that you are all-powerful and are the creator of all that surrounds us. While you rule and reign over all of creation help me to trust that Your sovereignty extends to my life. The details of my life are not hidden from You. Your Word remind me the very hairs of my head are all numbered and that I am far more valuable than many sparrows.
In the same way that your Spirit hovered over the face of the waters, would you hover over me on this day? I desire for my life to be motivated and animated by Your Spirit. I ask the Spirit would shape my heart and affections for You today. I give You access to my life, Elohim. Have Your way.
In Christ’s name…Amen.
