Prayer by the sea

Here I sit by the Sea of Galilee. As I listen to the waves, feel the gentles breeze, smell the salty air, and with the sun slowly sink, I have a praise song appear in my mind- “You make everything glorious, You make everything glorious, You make everything glorious, and I am Yours.” Thank you for glimpses of beauty knowing that nothing compares to Your beauty and splendor.

I am still so amazed to be here. I feel unworthy, yet you continue to bless me. While I am here Lord give me eyes to see what you would have me see, give me ears to hear what you would have me hear, and give me a mind and memory to remember.

Give me strength to proclaim you as Elijah did. Give me desire and will to follow you as the disciples did. Help me say again everyday- I surrender- Not my will but thine be done. Guide me as my shepherd- let me hear your voice and doggedly, determined let me follow.

I don’t know Your plan but I know You are good.

I don’t know Your plan but I know you are powerful.

I don’t know Your plan, but I know you are loving and merciful.

I don’t know Your plan, but I know you are trustworthy.

I don’t know Your plan, but I know You are my creator.

I don’t know my plan, but I know you do and it is incorporated into Your plan.
