A prayer of ANTICIPATION

When I wonder what great things God has planned for me...

O God,
My life is so noisy -- and sadly, it resounds more often with ringing of phones and droning of lit video screens than with praise and worship for you.  Do I ever pause and wonder what momentous things you might be preparing to do next?  How many moments of awe-inspiring anticipation do I miss by never being still before you?  I need your help to dicipline myself.  Help me to build moments of silent anticipation into each day, making time to pray and open myself up to what you want to do in and through me.  I pray, God, that in these moments, you will reveal enough of your plan to make me ready for your great purposes.  I come before you with reverent awe and anticipation for the glorious future that lies ahead.

You guide me with your counsel,
leading me to a glorious destiny.
Psalm 73:24
