A Prayer for Today

Jason September 4th, 2008 1 Comment

 

there are so many who are hungry- even around me.

many fighting demons and the terrors at night

many who look to substances to get by.

Lots of families are boiling in hatred

or stewing in a cauldron of complaints.

there are many who can’t read English and struggle along

many who are hunting for jobs (or ones that actually pay) and are discouraged.

Ours is a desperate world and we need You in all your power and glory.

 

We look as Ezekiel did for a river to flow out from Your temple-given presence.

Waters that can’t be held by levees or dikes

Waters of life that rush over every bank

Bringing life instead of destruction

We look to Jesus who announced His body as the temple reborn.

We see His glory and marvel.

He is the source of all things

The one who quenches the thirst of the weary

 

Revive us O God

Refresh us O Lord

Empower us by the Spirit.

 

May we be His servants and  help those with nothing.

May we be healed and well.

May we shine like stars in the night sky.

 

- In Jesus Name, Amen
