Blessed be your name


Overnight rains have soaked the thirsty ground, and now a warm sun peeks out from the clouds still being blown across a blue sky beyond. The potatoes planted deep and the carrot and parsnip seeds planted shallow will be swelling in the rain and sprouting towards the sun.

Swell my heart today, Lord, with praise. As the seeds in the earth soaked in the rain water overnight, and now feel the warm fingers of sunlight tickling and teasing them into growth, may my heart swell in the refreshing truth of the gospel, and may it sprout in the warm glory of the Son. May it grow into a living praise machine. May I go through this day with all its challenges, imagined and unforeseen, with a song in my heart, a song on my lips, a song of praise and thanksgiving. Be lifted up, Lord, be exalted. Be glorified, my Jesus, be worshipped all over the world.

As Covid 19 highlights the failings of society, may your praises highlight the glories of this world you have given us. Maybe the earth would be better off without humanity, but partnering with you, Lord, we can steward creation as you want us to. Help us today, Lord. And be glorified in everything.

Blessed be your beautiful name, Jesus. Amen.
