I Will Show Wonders

"And afterward,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days. I will show wonders in the heavens
and on the earth,
blood and fire and billows of smoke. (Joel 2:28-30 NIV)
Lord, my God, pour out Your Spirit in me. Show me wonders. I want to be awed by You. I miss the feeling of being overwhelmed with the beauty or the greatness of something. It is in those moments that I realize how small I am and how big and wonderful and unfathomably all-knowing my God is. You've created so many great things. There are phenomena on this earth that are so excitingly mind-boggling! Lord, I long to feel awed again. I think I'm becoming jaded. I think I take things for granted. I have lost the sense of wonder. And I really want it back. I want to look at Your creation and be awed again. I want to look at the people You've created and be overwhelmed with joy and wonder that the overflow in my heart would prompt me to tell them I love them.
