 Good morning and welcome to morning prayer and welcome those of you with us online as well as here in the room at the radiant city center in downtown Kalamazoo we're gonna open this morning with Psalm 27 starting in verse 4 one thing I have desired of the Lord that will I seek that I might dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the Lord join in prayer with me Lord this morning we come before you and this is our cry this is our prayer but you are the one thing that we desire the one thing that we seek above all else Lord we desire to dwell in your house all the days of our life to behold your beauty to behold your majesty or we don't fix our eyes this morning on things of this world materialistic things but God we place our our gaze on something so much more valuable on you Jesus but I ask that you reveal your beauty today as we come would you stir up new hunger new hunger to see the beauty of the Lord but would you make that that cry of our hearts this one thing I have desired would it would you make it louder this morning stirring our hearts Lord say that this morning you you are one thing you are a desire repent its cost is nothing once spilled our alabaster jar but haven't made that a daily routine and most of something enough for us to do heart work with the Lord let the Holy Spirit highlight those places where we need to repent I just ask like the places in our hearts we haven't seen worship as a sacrifice of praise we've held on to our alabaster jars where we spilled some but not all where we've let bitterness and things of this world keep us from giving you everything but we ask that you would fix our gaze back on to you let us see the worthiness of Jesus help us slow help us to give it all to you Holy Spirit even now just come through and highlight those places are you a sacrifice that was pleasing to you our circumstances determined our worship how worthy we saw you to me we just repent God we ask just like we saying Lord that you would take us back to the heart of worship take us back to be fully being fully obsessed with worshiping Jesus take us back there Lord remind our souls remind our hearts of all the reasons that we have to praise of all the reasons that we have to worship you desire spirit and truth worship you don't desire a motion-based worship it would help us to to bring you an offering that cost us something that we wouldn't show up the hand that we would truly bring you a sacrifice of praise so in Jesus name God help us to bring you that sacrifice of praise let that be the
