Morning Watch

I see myself once again broken and vulnerable before You. And i am coming to ask for miracles - not because i am worthy but because You are able and You tell me to ask.

The woman with the issue of blood could reach out and physically touch You - i am jealous. I want to do the same. I want to know Your presence, Your healing power in the same way.

The Canaanite woman came to You, saw Your face, looked into Your eyes and asked for deliverance for her daughter. And seeing who she was, You gave it anyway. See me, Lord. Recognizing me, answer me anyway.

The woman at the well saw You. She heard You: You spoke to her heart. Speak to mine, Lord. Give me the water of life that i may thirst no more.

The adulterous woman that they dragged naked and threw at Your feet? You, with a Word, chased off her accusers. Chase mine away, Lord. Empower me to "go and sin no more."

You appeared to Mary Magdalene first, the one You delivered and a woman no less. I am a woman whom You have delivered from many personal demons. Lord, appear to me.
