A Prayer for Today
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
