Written by Matthew Dickerson, a contemporary author. This is an excerpt from his work “Leading with Intimacy, Even When it Hurts.”

Lord, I thank you for the intimacy we have with you, through the Holy Spirit. We know that our restored relationship with you was entirely your work, reaching out to us. We thank you for what Jesus did on the cross to restore our intimacy with you, and also for the example he set. Give us the strength to follow Jesus’ example of honesty and vulnerability as we seek to deepen the relationships you have called us to. Amen.



Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. [Revelation 3:20].
