Written by Philip Reinders, a contemporary Canadian pastor, missional leader, and author. This is an excerpt from his book “Seeking God’s Face.”

Creator God, I praise you for creating humanity good, in your own image. Despite the regularity of evil wickedness I see in the world, despite my own twisted ways, this is not the way it is supposed to be. I’m meant to know you, to love you with all my heart, and to live with you in eternal happiness. Today, equip me to move in the direction of your created purposes for me. In Christ’s name. Amen.

I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. [Psalm 130:5]
