rest our tired and shameful hearts in thee

sweet freedom bringer, king of liberty

we are yours called, yours alone

our idols be laid before your throne

o praise the one who nails my sin

o praise the one, wanderer, come in

a prayer; For You, for the world, for her, for me

You. Forgive me of my sins. Thank You for Your grace.

World. A broken pot is best mended by its maker. The same for broken hearts and the broken world. Lord, you hold all our tears in a bottle. No turmoil has not been sifted from Your hand accidentally. Come quickly. But also, save quickly, grow us deeply. God, my God. Your creation proclaims and glorifies Your greatness. Yet, it mourns because it is broken. You are restorer and healer.

Her. Give her peace from anxiety and fears. Help her to rely and lean and seek You always and first and forever. In her motherhood give her wisdom and patience. Thank You for her friendship and her love for You. Lord, grow both greatly, if it be your will. She knows You, help her know You more. Guard her heart and her life.

Me. Control my appetites. Be my contentment and joy, Lord. Be my peace. Be telos of my being I know You are. Let my studies, my mind, my will, my body be used for your namesake, little that I might give. Help me to glorify and love you better, O savior of my soul.

God is sovereign. The Ghost is holy. Christ is immanent.
