Almighty God, you are the great and awesome creator of all things. You are so perfect and holy that angels hide their faces from you. You are so vast in power that every atom, every galaxy is held together by your word. You are so perfect in your righteousness that a lifetime of good could not even hint at the beauty of your nature. Lord, our right and natural response is to tremble before you and to know how far short we fall. We fear you lord, and yet it is a fear that draws us in closer to you, rather than push us away. Please help us to keep knowing the distance that is naturally between us, and yet the closeness that we can enjoy with you because of Christ.
Amen
