a prayer for awareness

Father,

We acknowledge that we see in a mirror dimly. We don't see ourselves as you see us. We don't see the world as you see it. We don't see others, beloved and created by you, as you see them.

Give us a stillness. Keep our bodies still, keep our minds still, center our hearts in your presence. Make us more aware of who you are, of what you are doing in us, and what you are doing in the world. Gives us eyes to see as you do, hearts to love as you do, and bodies meant to worship you with it's every movement.

You have made us lovely, O Lord. While sin has marred our loveliness, Jesus has restored and continues to restore. He is doing so in us and in the world. Keep our eyes on what you are doing. Keep us in tune to your work. Help us to feel your presence in us and with us. 

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. -Ephesians 1:18-21

Amen
