You Remain

“And, You, Lord, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the work of Your hands: they will perish; but You remain…” (Hebrews 1:10-11a)   

                                                                                YOU REMAIN

You remain. You are constant. You are unchanging. You are ever present.  There is nowhere that I am that You are not. You never leave. You are always. You are in this moment. You abide. You are here. You are now. You are.

You surround. You fill. You hold. You envelope. You protect. You heal. You guard. You breathe. You pursue. You touch. You whisper. You wait. You love. You nurture. You discipline. You provide. You understand. You know. You hear. You see. You teach. You train. You build. You tear down. You restore. You strengthen. You mend. You cover. You move. You stand. You cherish. You mold. You grow. You remove. You plant. You sow. You reap. You harvest. You plan. You purpose. You reign. You rule. You rescue. You regard. You reserve. You dwell. You deliver. You declare. You divide. You separate. You conquer. You crush. You suspend. You lift. You uphold. You delight. You enjoy. You laugh. You cry. You feel. You create. You promote. You persist. You enlighten. You unearth. You caress. You acquire. You inundate. You overwhelm. You wash. You weave. You redeem. You atone. You save. You secure. You purify. You pronounce. You manifest. You reveal. You captivate. You command. You care. You come. You engage. You anoint. You overcome. You mend. You make.

You remain. You are constant. You are unchanging. You are ever present. There is nowhere that I am that You are not. You never leave. You are always. You are in this moment. You abide. You are here. You are now. You are.


 
Father, You are everything.  In any and every moment You are what we need.  In the seas of sorrow, surrounded by sickness, covered in chaos, drowning in depression, anchored in anger, unclothed in uncertainty, wavering in our wandering; You are what we need.  I come humbly to ask boldy that You move in the hearts and lives of all those I love and care for…bring You into every situation and circumstance, turn defeat into triumph, death into life, division into unity, hate into love, sickness into health, loss into fullness, lies into truth.  We need You Lord Jesus, in the earth in this moment, in this hour, in this day, and in all the days to come.  Give us eyes to see You, ears to hear You, and hearts to truly know You.  May we not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.  May we shine as lights on the earth in this hour. May our focus and attention be on You.  May we walk by faith and not by sight. May we trust You with everything always. May we love unswervingly. Give aboundingly. And glorify Your name resoundingly.  In all these things I pray, I trust You, believe You, and yield to You in all of Your marvelous, matchless beauty, mercy, grace, truth, and strength.  Amen.
