Day 36 - March 20

Scripture Reading

Job 19:25-27 (NLT)

25 “But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last.

26 And after my body has decayed, yet in my body I will see God!

27 I will see him for myself. Yes, I will see him with my own eyes. I am overwhelmed at the thought!

Prayer Focus

To desire with expectation the day when we will see Christ face to face

We have heard of your wondrous power,

the ways in which you make newness,

the ways in which you defeat death,

the ways in which you give life.

We trust you in the night while we sleep;

we rise early in the morn to find you alert, active, engaged.

You dazzle us day and night.

Yet … we notice the place where

you are curbed,

you are fringed,

you are held.

Your newness we do not see … so we wait.

Keep us easy at night in our wait.

Keep us vigilant in day while we wait.

Keep our wait fixed on you,

you alone,

you and none other … and we will rejoice. Amen.

~ “The Place Where You are Curbed” by Walter Brueggemann
