Thursday Morning Prayer

April 3, 2025

In days to come the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; all the nations shall stream to it. Many peoples shall come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.” (Isaiah 2:2-3a)

Gracious and Eternal God,

As the sun rises over the rugged beauty of the Florida Mountains, I lift my heart to You in gratitude. The desert air is crisp, and the gentle breeze carries the scent of sage and mesquite. The land awakens with the songs of doves and the stirring of life beneath the endless sky.

Lord, You have promised that in the days to come, Your mountain shall be established as the highest, lifted above the hills, and all nations shall stream to it. This morning, I stand in awe of Your majesty, seeing in the grandeur of this land a glimpse of Your eternal promise. Just as the mountains stand firm, so too does Your Word endure forever.

Draw me ever closer, O God, that I may walk in Your ways. Teach me Your paths as I tread the desert trails, my steps guided by the light of Your truth. Let my heart be a vessel of peace, that I may invite others to journey with me toward Your holy presence.

This day, Lord, may my words and actions reflect Your wisdom. May I seek justice, extend mercy, and walk humbly in the footsteps of Christ. Let the beauty of this morning be a reminder that You are making all things new.

In the name of Jesus, who leads us to Your holy mountain, I pray.

Amen.

May the peace of God, like the steady rise of the morning sun over the desert, guide your steps today and always, leading you ever closer to His holy mountain.
