Father God, we enter into Your gates with thanksgiving, and into Your court with praise. Lord God, allow us to taste the great joy of being in Your presence with thanksgiving. We ask that You help us to use whatever time to meditate on You and Your Word, whether we sit, stand, or knee. We want to sit aside time to meditate each week. We desire to sit aside every weight and sin that so easily stop us from coming into Your presence and enjoy You. Our prayer will consist of more meditation from now on in Jesus’ name. Forgive us when our attitude toward prayer through meditation is casual. In the name of Your Son Jesus, we ask for a heart that is ever growing in its desire to spend more time with You. Amen.
