0:03 Psalm 73:25,
0:06 "Whom have I in heaven but you? And
0:09 there is none upon earth that I desire
0:12 besides you."
0:14 This verse captures the cry of a soul
0:17 that has tasted the goodness of God and
0:20 knows that nothing else satisfies.
0:22 When you reach the place where you say,
0:25 "Lord, how can I stop loving you? How
0:27 can I stop calling on you?" You have
0:29 stepped into a depth of relationship
0:32 that storms cannot break, delays cannot
0:36 weaken, and battles cannot erase. God
0:38 becomes more than a giver of blessings.
0:40 He becomes the very breath in your
0:43 lungs, the strength in your spirit, and
0:45 the answer to every question of your
0:48 heart. And when you love him like this,
0:50 when you desire him above everything
0:53 else, his presence becomes your shield.
0:56 His wisdom becomes your guide and his
0:59 love becomes your anchor. Stay in that
1:02 place today, loving him, calling on him,
1:05 leaning on him, and you will see him
1:07 move in ways that remind you why he is
1:10 the only one you truly need. Please pray
1:13 along with me. Lord, how can I stop
1:15 loving you? How can I stop calling your
1:17 name when your name is the only place my
1:19 heart knows peace? The only place my
1:22 soul can breathe. The only refuge I run
1:24 to when life becomes too heavy for me to
1:26 carry alone.
1:29 Father, I come before you this morning
1:32 with a heart that is both trembling and
1:34 grateful. Trembling because life
1:37 sometimes presses me in places I cannot
1:40 explain. grateful because even in the
1:42 middle of everything, every question,
1:45 every uncertainty, every piece of the
1:48 story I do not yet understand, your
1:50 presence remains the one constant, the
1:53 one anchor, the one soothing place where
1:57 my spirit finds rest. Lord, you know me
2:00 far beyond what people see. You know the
2:02 deep places, the hidden parts, the
2:04 silent storms, the wounds I never voice
2:07 aloud, the fears I smile over, the
2:10 strengths I force myself to carry when I
2:13 am weak. And yet through all of it, you
2:16 have never left me. That is why, Lord, I
2:19 cannot stop loving you. I cannot stop
2:21 calling your name. Even when I am tired,
2:24 even when I am unsure, even when I have
2:27 nothing left but a whisper, that whisper
2:30 still calls your name. Father, you are
2:32 the one who picked me up when I did not
2:34 know how to stand again. You are the one
2:37 who touched the places inside me that no
2:40 person, no achievement, no opportunity
2:42 could ever reach. You are the one who
2:45 embraced me when disappointment sat on
2:48 my chest like a weight I could not move.
2:50 You are the one who comforted me when I
2:53 cried behind closed doors long after
2:56 everyone thought I was strong. Lord, you
2:58 are the one who made a way when logic
3:00 said there was none. The one who opened
3:03 doors that even I doubted to knock on.
3:05 The one who held my heart together when
3:08 life felt like it was pulling me apart.
3:11 So how, Lord? How can I stop loving you?
3:14 How can I stop calling on you? How can I
3:16 distance myself from the very one who
3:19 carried me when I could not carry
3:21 myself? This morning, Father, I come to
3:24 you with humility and surrender. I come
3:27 because you are everything to me. You
3:29 are not just a part of my life. You are
3:32 my life. You are the breath in my lungs,
3:35 the strength in my bones, the peace in
3:38 my mind, the hope in my future, the
3:40 comfort in my night, the joy in my
3:44 mourning. And Lord, I realize even if I
3:46 tried, even if I attempted to lean on
3:48 someone or something else, my heart
3:51 would still run back to you because it
3:55 knows where home is. And home, God, is
3:58 always in you. So, Father, as this day
4:01 begins, I lay everything at your feet.
4:03 The things I understand and the things I
4:06 don't. The battles I can see and the
4:09 battles I cannot. the fears I try to
4:12 hide and the faith I try to strengthen.
4:15 I lay my life before you because you are
4:17 the only one who can handle all of it.
4:19 You are the only one who knows my past
4:21 completely, understands my present
4:25 perfectly, and holds my future securely.
4:28 Lord, you have been my help, my only
4:31 true help. When people disappointed me,
4:33 you did not. When my own strength
4:36 failed, yours increased. When doors
4:39 closed painfully, you whispered that you
4:41 had better ones waiting. When my heart
4:44 felt abandoned, you reminded me that you
4:47 were right there. So, how can I stop
4:50 loving you? How can I stop calling your
4:52 name when you are the only one who has
4:56 never changed? This morning, Father, I
4:58 ask you to draw me closer to you. Draw
5:01 me deeper into your presence. Draw my
5:02 heart back into alignment with your
5:05 will. Draw my mind away from worries and
5:08 into your peace. Draw my spirit away
5:11 from fear and into your comfort. Draw me
5:14 away from depending on my own strength
5:16 and into the fullness of trusting you
5:19 completely. Because God, sometimes I
5:22 still try to do it on my own. Sometimes
5:24 I still try to carry things you already
5:27 told me to lay down. Sometimes I still
5:29 worry about outcomes you already
5:31 promised you would take care of.
5:34 Sometimes I still hold on to things I
5:37 should have surrendered to you long ago.
5:40 But Lord, this morning I confess I
5:43 cannot manage my life without you. I
5:45 cannot handle my battles without you. I
5:47 cannot make decisions without your
5:49 guidance. I cannot heal without your
5:51 touch. I cannot walk without your light
5:53 shining on my path.
5:56 Father, take over my heart again. Take
5:57 over my thoughts again. Take over my
6:00 purpose again. Take over my day again. I
6:02 give you the struggle. I give you the
6:04 fears. I give you the weight. I give you
6:07 every silent battle. I give you
6:09 everything trying to break me. I give
6:12 you everything I pretend doesn't hurt.
6:14 This morning, I surrender not because I
6:17 am weak, but because I am wise enough to
6:19 know that my strength means nothing
6:23 without your hand holding me up. Lord, I
6:26 love you. Not because everything is
6:29 perfect. Not because life is smooth. Not
6:32 because I have everything I want. I love
6:34 you because even when things fall apart,
6:37 you remain the same. Even when people
6:40 change, you do not. Even when my
6:44 emotions shift, your love stays steady.
6:47 You are the one constant in a world full
6:50 of variables. You are the one truth in a
6:53 world full of confusion. You are the one
6:56 peace in a world full of noise. Father,
6:58 Father,
7:00 as I continue in your presence this
7:03 morning, I realize again how impossible
7:05 it is for me to live without you. The
7:08 more I breathe, the more I discover that
7:10 every breath is proof of your mercy. The
7:13 more I take a step, the more I see that
7:16 every path I walk is held together by
7:19 your grace. Lord, how can I stop loving
7:21 you when you are the one who held me in
7:24 moments nobody knew I was breaking? How
7:27 can I stop calling your name when your
7:29 name is the only sound that brings peace
7:32 into storms that tried to drown me? How
7:34 can I turn away from the one who has
7:36 been the center of my strength, the
7:38 reason for my survival, and the source
7:41 of my hope? You have been God to me even
7:44 in moments I did not know how to pray.
7:46 You remained faithful when I was
7:48 fragile. You remained loving when I was
7:50 confused. You remained present when I
7:54 felt alone. And today, Lord, I come
7:56 again, not because I am perfect, but
7:58 because I know I cannot make it through
8:02 a single day on my own strength.
8:05 I lift my heart before you and say,
8:07 Lord, I need you more than ever. I need
8:10 your touch. I need your presence. I need
8:14 your peace. Father, you see the places
8:17 inside me where words cannot reach. You
8:19 see the silent battles, the quiet
8:21 questions, the fears I don't speak out
8:23 loud, and the dreams I am trying to
8:25 rebuild. You know the pieces of my life
8:29 that only your hands can restore. So
8:32 Lord, I stretch my heart toward you.
8:34 Touch the places that hurt. Heal the
8:37 wounds that time has not been able to
8:39 close. Mend the areas where
8:42 disappointment settled too deeply. Lift
8:44 the burdens that have sat on my
8:46 shoulders for too long. Father, breathe
8:48 your strength into every corner of my
8:52 life. Lord, you are the only one who has
8:53 never failed me. People can
8:56 misunderstand me. Life can shift
8:59 unexpectedly. Seasons can change without
9:02 warning, but you remain the same. You
9:04 remain faithful. You remain near. You
9:08 remain God. And that is why I cannot
9:11 stop calling your name. That is why even
9:13 on days when I am tired, my spirit still
9:17 whispers, Jesus. Because your name is my
9:19 anchor. Your name is my refuge. Your
9:22 name is my home. Your name is the safest
9:26 place I know. Father, I surrender again.
9:28 I give you every situation that feels
9:31 heavy. I give you every door that seems
9:33 closed. I give you every prayer that
9:35 feels unanswered. I give you every fear
9:38 trying to steal my confidence. I give
9:40 you the things that I cannot fix. I give
9:42 you the people I cannot change. I give
9:45 you the outcomes I cannot control.
9:48 Lord, take over. Have your way. Step
9:51 into every area of my life with your
9:54 wisdom and your timing. Lord, you know
9:56 the dreams I carry, even the ones that
9:58 scare me because they are bigger than
10:01 me. You know the responsibilities I feel
10:04 unprepared to handle. You know the hopes
10:06 I am afraid to speak out loud because I
10:09 fear disappointment. But Father, you are
10:12 the God who holds my future. You are the
10:15 God who wrote my story. You are the God
10:18 who sees the end from the beginning. You
10:20 are the God who turns impossibilities
10:22 into testimonies.
10:25 So I place every desire, every plan, and
10:27 every rising expectation into your
10:30 hands. Lead me in the way that brings
10:33 glory to your name. Teach me to walk in
10:36 obedience even when it is difficult.
10:38 Teach me to trust you even when I don't
10:41 understand. Teach me to rest in you
10:44 instead of wrestling with things beyond
10:47 my reach. Teach me to let go of the urge
10:49 to control everything. Teach me to
10:52 believe that your no is still a form of
10:55 protection and your weight is still a
10:57 form of love. Lord, shape me into a
11:00 vessel that follows you without fear,
11:02 worships you without condition, and
11:06 trusts you without wavering. And Lord,
11:08 when I call your name, hear me quickly.
11:11 When I feel overwhelmed, rescue me. When
11:14 my strength is low, strengthen me. When
11:17 I feel lost, direct me. When my heart
11:20 feels discouraged, lift me. When the
11:23 road feels long, walk with me. When the
11:26 battle feels heavy, fight for me. When
11:29 the tears flow quietly, comfort me. When
11:31 I feel forgotten, remind me that you are
11:34 near. When I feel inadequate, remind me
11:37 that grace is enough. When I feel weak,
11:39 remind me that your power is made
11:42 perfect in weakness. Lord, I love you
11:44 not because everything in my life is
11:46 perfect, but because even in
11:49 imperfection, you have been the perfect
11:52 God. I love you because you held me
11:55 together when nothing else could. I love
11:57 you because you remained faithful in
11:59 seasons when I did not have the strength
12:02 to pray the way I wanted to. I love you
12:04 because when everyone else saw the
12:08 outside, you saw my heart. I love you
12:10 because you carried me through storms
12:12 that should have broken me. I love you
12:14 because you are the one who keeps giving
12:16 me reasons to rise each morning with
12:19 hope. Father, I lift up this entire day
12:22 to you. Go ahead of me. Stand with me.
12:25 Cover me. Protect me, guide me, surround
12:28 me, establish me. Let your presence go
12:30 before me like a pillar of cloud and a
12:33 pillar of fire. Let your angels watch
12:36 over me. Let your hand steady me. Let
12:38 your wisdom guide me. Let your love
12:40 secure me. Let your peace accompany me.
12:43 Let your strength empower me. Let your
12:46 favor be visible upon me. And Lord, in
12:48 everything I do today, remind me that I
12:51 am not walking alone. Remind me that you
12:54 are near. Remind me that your voice is
12:56 louder than every fear. Remind me that
12:58 your love is deeper than every
13:01 insecurity. Remind me that your promises
13:03 are stronger than every challenge.
13:05 Remind me that your purpose for my life
13:07 is bigger than anything trying to stand
13:10 against me. Father, let this day reflect
13:13 your goodness. Let this day reflect your
13:15 guidance. Let this day reflect your
13:18 protection. Let this day reflect your
13:20 hand upon my life. Let this day reveal
13:23 that you are indeed all that I have and
13:26 all that I will ever need. Lord,
13:29 continue to draw me closer. Continue to
13:31 shape my heart. Continue to fill me with
13:34 hunger for your presence. Continue to
13:36 teach me to trust, to surrender, to
13:39 listen, and to remain anchored in you.
13:42 Because truly, Lord,
13:45 I cannot stop loving you. I cannot stop
13:47 calling your name. You are my life. You
13:49 are my hope. You are my strength. You
13:53 are my everything. Lord, I continue to
13:56 pour my heart before you because there
13:58 is something about your presence that
14:00 makes me melt. Something about your
14:02 nearness that makes every wall around my
14:05 heart fall effortlessly.
14:07 There is something about your voice that
14:10 calms storms inside me that no one even
14:13 knows are raging. I keep wondering how I
14:16 could ever distance myself from you when
14:18 every breath I breathe depends on your
14:21 mercy. How could I ever stop calling
14:23 your name when your name is the only
14:25 name that has never failed me? Your name
14:28 is the only name that responds at the
14:31 speed of my tears. Your name is the only
14:32 name that knows how to enter the places
14:35 in me that I don't show the world.
14:37 Father, when I sit quietly and reflect,
14:39 I realize that you have been my safe
14:42 place long before I even understood what
14:45 safety was. You were my comfort before I
14:48 knew how to ask for comfort. You were my
14:51 protection before I understood danger.
14:53 You were my provider before I learned
14:56 the meaning of lack. You were my healer
14:59 before I could even identify my wounds.
15:01 Lord, how can I walk away from the one
15:03 who has carried me every step of my
15:06 life? How can I ever stop loving the one
15:09 who has never left me, never abandoned
15:12 me, never ignored me, never betrayed me?
15:14 Lord, people come and go, seasons
15:17 change, relationships shift, life
15:21 transforms, but you, you remain. Your
15:23 love is the only constant that has not
15:26 wavered once. Even when my faith shakes,
15:29 your love holds firm. Even when I drift,
15:32 you draw me back. Even when I fall, you
15:34 lift me up. Even when I struggle to
15:37 pray, your spirit prays through me. Even
15:39 when I feel lost, you come searching for
15:42 me. How then, Lord, could I ever stop
15:44 calling the name that found me when I
15:47 was lost? Father, sometimes I look at my
15:50 life, the battles I faced, the storms I
15:52 survived, the nights I cried myself to
15:55 sleep. And I realize that if it had not
15:59 been for you, I would not be here today.
16:01 If it had not been for your grace, I
16:03 would have drowned in the things that
16:06 tried to swallow me. If it had not been
16:08 for your protection, I would have been
16:10 destroyed by the things sent to break
16:13 me. If it had not been for your love, my
16:15 heart would have collapsed under the
16:17 weight of disappointment. And even in
16:21 all of that, you held me. You held me
16:24 when I didn't know how to hold myself.
16:27 You held me when I had no strength left.
16:30 You held me when I said nothing, but my
16:33 tears prayed everything. Lord, you are
16:36 all that I have. And yet somehow you are
16:40 more than enough. You fill spaces no
16:42 human can fill. You heal wounds no
16:45 doctor can see. You answer questions no
16:48 teacher can explain. You solve problems
16:51 no intellect can untangle. You open
16:55 doors that no hand can shut. You rewrite
16:56 stories that were meant to end in
16:59 failure. You restore things that looked
17:02 completely broken. You revive hope that
17:04 was buried. You bring beauty out of
17:07 ashes. You shine light into the corners
17:09 of my soul where darkness thought it
17:12 would remain forever. So I confess
17:15 again, Lord, I cannot stop loving you. I
17:17 cannot stop calling your name. I cannot
17:20 stop running back to you. You are the
17:24 answer. You are everything. Lord, there
17:26 is a peace that settles over me when I
17:28 whisper your name. A peace the world
17:31 cannot give and cannot take away. A
17:34 peace that enters like a soft wind and
17:37 calms every storm raging inside me. A
17:39 peace that reminds me that no matter
17:42 what today holds, I am not facing it
17:45 alone. You go before me. You walk beside
17:48 me. You cover me. You strengthen me. You
17:51 protect me. You guide me. And father,
17:54 there is a joy that rises in me when I
17:57 think about you. An unexplainable joy
17:59 that bubbles up from deep places and
18:02 reminds me that I belong to you. That I
18:05 am yours. That you are mine. That
18:07 nothing can separate me from your love.
18:10 Not fear, not failure, not weakness, not
18:13 mistakes, not confusion, not the enemy,
18:15 not the world, not even my own shortcomings.
18:17 shortcomings.
18:19 Your love is stronger than everything
18:21 that tries to break me. Your love is
18:23 louder than every lie whispered against
18:25 me. Your love is deeper than every
18:28 wound. Your love is wider than every
18:31 path I've walked. Your love is higher
18:33 than every mountain I've climbed. How
18:35 can I ever stop calling the name of the
18:37 one whose love has been my greatest
18:40 miracle? Lord, when I wake up in the
18:43 morning, it is your breath in my lungs.
18:45 When I look around me, it is your
18:47 blessings surrounding me. When I see
18:49 another day, it is your mercy carrying
18:52 me. When I move forward, it is your hand
18:55 leading me. When I survive a storm, it
18:58 is your grace sustaining me. When I rise
19:00 from the ashes, it is your favor lifting
19:04 me. So even if I tried, Lord, even if I
19:06 tried to distance myself, even if I
19:08 tried to silence my love for you, my
19:11 heart would still cry out. My spirit
19:13 would still call your name. My soul
19:16 would still reach for you because you
19:18 are the one who breathed life into me.
19:20 You are the one who shaped me, formed
19:23 me, called me, preserved me, protected
19:27 me, and carried me. Jesus, you are
19:29 everything to me. Everything I am,
19:32 everything I hope to be, everything I
19:34 will ever become. It is all because of
19:38 you. Father, as I close this prayer, my
19:40 heart is overwhelmed with gratitude that
19:42 you are the one I can never stop loving,
19:45 never stop calling because you have been
19:47 everything to me. Lord, thank you for
19:50 hearing every whisper of my soul today.
19:52 Thank you for meeting me in this moment,
19:54 for surrounding me with your peace and
19:56 drawing me back into the place of
19:59 surrender, trust, and love. As I step
20:02 into this day, go before me, walk with
20:05 me, strengthen me, and keep my heart
20:08 anchored in you. Let my spirit remain
20:11 sensitive to your voice. Let my feet
20:13 follow your path, and let my life
20:17 reflect your glory. Cover my day, my
20:20 mind, my steps, and my decisions with
20:23 your presence. I give you my whole heart
20:26 again, Lord. Have your way in me now and
20:31 forever. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. I
20:32 just want to take a moment to thank you
