Jesus, better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere. So I give you this day, and all that happens in it. Take my hand and lead me this day, that your will may be done. Amen.
One day in the courts of Christ will amass such glorious treasures, they will last for eternity. When we pray this prayer, we recognize the vanity of spending our days anywhere else. The only thing that truly matters is the presence of Christ. We are to give Him this day, and every day of our lives in order to live in His love and to give Him glory. He must lead us, however, to ensure His will, and not ours, is what comes to pass.
Let us pray this prayer when we feel far from Jesus and He will bring us into His courts once again.
