Loving Heavenly Father

Loving Heavenly Father,

I come to you through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ in praise and worship and adoration.  Empty me now of anything that would interfere with your purpose-everything of the flesh, world or evil one.  Thank you for sending the Holy Spirit to empower and guide me in communicating your love.  Help me to express your love in a way that can bring me into a new awareness of your presence in my life.  Thank you for releasing the specific gifts of service necessary to accomplish your purposes.  Thank you, Jesus, for promising to be with us when we gather in your name.  Your desire for our wholeness is even greater than our own.  Be glorified in our lives and our time together.  Amen
