Almighty God, my Eternal Father, from the fullness of my soul I adore You.
I am deeply grateful that You have made me in Your image and likeness,
and that You ever hold me in Your loving embrace.
Direct me to love You with all my heart, with all my soul, and with my whole mind.
Direct me to love all Your children as I love myself.
O, my Father, my soul longs to be united to You, and to rest in You forever.
Have the Holy Spirit touch my soul so that I may love You as He does,
and as Your Beloved Son Jesus does.
Amen.

1 Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise,
in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
2 It is beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth.
Like the utmost heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion,
the city of the Great King.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD Almighty,
in the city of our God: God makes her secure forever.
9 Within your temple, O God,
we meditate on your unfailing love.
10 Like your name, O God, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth;
your right hand is filled with righteousness.
Psalm 48 New International Version
