Heavenly Father, let us see your grace and mercy upon our lives through the seasons of plenty and the seasons of refinement, that through the fire you have led us to the cross of Jesus to be comforted by the truth that you write upon our hearts.  Father give us eyes to see your perfect plans with understanding that your strength is made perfect in our weakness – that our faults are the testimony of THE ONLY ONE WHO IS RIGHTEOUSNESS and that our perfection comes by no other way than FAITH in Yeshua Hamashiach – Jesus Christ of Nazareth and the blood that was shed upon us, who have no path to you except through Him by which all things were made.  Lord convict us in your love – true love – and the fruits of the spirit of love which is YOU our God, the great I AM in which we can only boast in YOUR goodness, not ours, YOUR provisions and perfect works, not our flawed plans, YOUR wisdom, not our silly ideas and tainted knowledge, YOUR path for our lives that we may have never chosen but by the GRACE and MERCY of you, this flesh is broken down to receive the fullness of YOUR SPIRIT.  Lord I know your heart for the broken and the meek and the lowly and I call upon the mighty name of Jesus to reveal the beauty in YOU who live inside of us as we wait upon you, the Lord, humbly seeking your face with expectancy and thanksgiving, knowing that YOU ARE NOT FINISHED WITH US YET!!!  Lord I praise you and I thank you for everyone that you send into our lives.  I thank you for the outpouring of your spirit into the broken things of this world and the plans you have made to redeem all who seek you and love you and call upon your mighty name.  Father I thank you for never leaving us, never forsaking us and allowing NOTHING to pluck us from your sovereign hand.
