Episode 96: Genesis 1:1-2
Today’s verse is Genesis 1:1-2
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
Let’s pray together.
God of my beginning, start my path and bring me forward. God of my origins, create in me a world of Your design. God of my formation, let Your Spirit breathe life into me, that I may live as Your child.
I believe You are the limitless genius and unique humor and matchless creative behind every cell and particle and atom in the universe. May we all honor such a creation and strive to make it better. I believe You own and bind all things together. May we all submit ourselves to Your will so we may live according to truth. I believe that without You, all is darkness and void, bereft of anything meaningful. May we all embrace the love and wisdom of Your Spirit, the sacrifice and blood of Your son, and the gift and kingship of the Father, so we may rise from the night and be born again.
God, as it was in the beginning, You are still all there is. Help us to understand this, help us to honor this, help us to trust You in this. Be all to us.
God of my past, be God of my future, the originator of all I am and ever will be.
I pray this is in the name of the Word, who was in the beginning, and who will never end.
Amen.
