Abba,

I begin this day begging for your mercies as if I had never before received any.  Day by day I grow in my awareness of just how empty and vile I am without your redeeming graces.  Without you, my life is naught but a string of futile endeavors and wicked pursuits.  Without you, my life naught but foolishness.  How I ever feel it.  

My soul yearns within me for such a strength of your presence that all else fades into oblivion.  My soul years for such a strength of your presence that everything but your will, character, and desire flees from within me.  I yearn for the joy of your being to be my only comfort, my only delight, my only joy, my only reality day in and day out.  

Fill me today with YOU.  ONLY YOU.  For when I am full of you, your being and presence will flow from me like streams of living water to everyone and everything that my life touches.  I desire nothing else but you.

So, as this new day begins, let your life reside in me.  Give me an overwhelming sense of your presence and let me walk in step with Your Spirit today.  May nothing else touch me or flow from me but liquid Jesus.  

I love you, Abba.

Amen.
