Worship at His Feet
Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind." Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, "What? Are we blind too?" Jesus said, "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains. (John 9:35-41)
Lord, I worship at your feet. You where not just a man or you would have rebuked the blind mans worship of you. You are God, You are my Lord and savior, and You are the great healer of all who believe in You. Thank you for revealing to my blind eyes the sin of my heart and the costliness of life without you. Oh Lord I have been like the Pharisees and the guilt of my sin has blinded me to my wickedness.
Lord Jesus, please open my eyes to my sin. I have become so judgmental of your church that I have become blind to your presence. I have struggled not to join the chorus of the accuser of the brethren to judge the church. Lord cleanse my heart, forgive me, and help me to love those I find unlovely. Lord you love all who you call your own and who call on your name. Forgive me for placing my ‘knowledge’ of the revelation of your mercy and loving kindness to others.
Help me Lord to follow you and to trust the church into your hands. May my heart for the church be only filled with love and warm affection! These men I have struggled with have a heart for the lost. They believe in the necessity of a moral majority in the United States. They have fought for the preservation of Godliness in this increasingly wicked nation. Forgive me Lord for not fighting and remaining silent. I don’t think it is my calling to war with the world as these men do but let me not judge them if it is their calling.
I am the Pharisee to judge them without asking you to cleanse my wicked heart. Forgive me Lord for judging. Forgive me for closing my spirit to the teaching of these men. Help me to pray for them in their ministry. Help me to know how to pray and what to pray if there is anything they say that needs to be corrected for the sake of the advancement of your ministry through them. Teach me how to pray for those I disagree with and even more teach me how to love you’re your church.
Amen!
