Nothing is more important than our relationship with the Father. But we are a weak, frail, and floundering people. At times our wandering seems endless, and our prayers repetitive and empty. The void within our hearts burns for fulfillment and the desire to feel worthy for a deeper relationship with God cries out. This is when we call to Him. "Meet me where I am, Lord. I must start but the mountain seems too high, the cliffs too steep. I am at the foot, scraping my nails into the rock and reaching." To know Him better, we understand we need Him to take a willing heart in hand and begin at the bottom. In these ninety-days of reflection, you will meet God where you are. Meet Me Where I Am, Lord is a refreshing way to enter the throne room and feel the touch of an ever-present God.
