God, even these overgrown places. My prayer garden that I'm sitting in. Our house that has seen so much grief and trauma and beautiful things and chaotic things. These are sacred places for your presence, Lord. I see it. I see all you've done, the awesome things that you have accomplished, Lord, and I see the pain we've been through to you. It's all here. God, thank you that you don't ask me to leave it behind. You don't ask me to set aside what we've been through. You don't ask me to set aside the pain that our kids carry. You don't ask me to set aside the pain that we carry. Thank you for holding it all, Lord. God, you give us this space to take a deep breath here. Let this peace wash over our household. Your name is powerful, Lord, and I don't deny the things that you can do in this family just because I don't see them. I won't deny it. I won't set aside my hope. I won't set aside the dreams and visions that you've called us to have over this family, over this property. I won't set it aside, Lord, even in my pain and even in the things that I struggle with. I'm not going to lay aside your word that's been spoken. Give me the strength, Lord, to not set it aside. Give me the strength, Lord, to sit in this overgrown mess. And not just wait for the good season. I see it all, Lord. I see the fights and the struggles with our kids. I see the trauma they carry. I see the wounds that they live with, Lord. You see it. There's no sense in ignoring it. God, I see the heavy burden that we have to carry as their parents. I see the way that we've been weather-worn. There's no sense in denying it, Lord. We're tired. We're exhausted. You don't ask me to lay that aside. God, thank you. Be close. Renew us, refresh us. God, restore what's been broken and torn apart. Only you can, Lord. There's so much. God, open our eyes to see where we're at right now so we can see what you're going to do, God. Give us hope and vision for all the things you're going to do, not just what's happening in front of us. We can hold it all, Lord. Through you, we can hold it all. We want to see you move, Lord, even in our pain. Your presence fall here over our home. Fall over our property. Do what you've spoken. Do what you've promised. Don't leave us here, Lord, but be with us. Like we've never seen before. You are worthy of our lives. God, we've poured it out for you. We're here. Everything's been poured out. God, there's nothing left to pour out. Meet us here, Lord. We wait for you because you are worthy of all of it. You're worthy of our yes still being on the table. You're worthy of our sacrifice over and over again. God, it'll never be enough. Renew our hearts in that, God. May you get all the glory and all the honor and all the praise. It's through you, Lord. It's through your powerful presence. And it's for your great name. Amen.
