Father, thank you for today and the hope it holds in it for me.  Thank you for the love of yesterday in the faces and hugs of old friends, the words of encouragement and the laughter in the memories recalled together.  Thank you for the beautiful tapestry displayed in the lives of your children each following you and trusting you right in moment they find themselves--for the fragrant aroma of worship I sense as I hear their testimony of your goodness and faithfulness in their lives.  And I join in the worship song.  I want to add to this collection of praise my own small harmony.  Let it add the part you intend! I believe therefore I speak the truth of your unfailing love--so mysterious in it's origin and depth! Who can know it?  You are so very close and real....a relentless pursuer.  You are smiling.  And I am amazed.  Help my unbelief!  I will reject the lies the enemy puts in my path because the testimony of YOU stands the same.  Many have walked with you and not found you lacking....neither will I.  Many have tried to go it on their own path, their own strength, their own understanding and found that way to be LACKING, even unto death.  Let the testimony of your lovingkindness rise up and flow out of me and out of the lives of my favorite friends and family so that it plays the beautiful song of praise to you.  And let us then be glad and be full of JOY that reflects it again and again.  Day after day, night after night.  Regardless of circumstances, difficulties,  disappointments, or desperate prayers.  The earth is full of the revealed LOVE of God, my Father and yours.  Help my unbelief.  Strengthen my faith by your grace.  Let me be filled with your love today.
