Psalm 139:7-12
Psalm 139:4
Matthew 1:22-23
“Lift up your heart in adoration to the King of glory. Contemplate his majesty, glory, and tenderness as revealed in Jesus Christ…Invite (God’s) presence to be manifest…(then as) people begin to enter the room, glance around until you see someone who needs your intercessory work. Perhaps their shoulders are drooped, or they seem a bit sad. Lift them into the glorious, refreshing light of his presence. See the burden tumbling from their shoulders…hold them as a special intention throughout the service. If only a few in any given congregation will do this, it will deepen the worship experience of all.” -Richard Foster, Celebration of Discipline
Luke 15:20
