A Prayer.
God is mighty and powerful. The answer to everything.
Flood our lives with your Kingdom light, Father. Help us to know you as you are, not as we think you to be in our feeble attempts at understanding. Overpower the darkness around us.
God, you are grace and mercy. You loved us when we were unlovable. And you love us still even though we are like sheep with no will to live, no natural propensity to do right. Over and over again you rescue us, and over and over again you have to re-explain things to us. Help us to really learn rather than to just experience things.
Make us into the children that you see us as – powerful for you. Unclutter our minds, our hearts. Refresh and replace our focus with your Kingdom purposes. We long to be effective tools in your movement of truth.
Forge us into tempered steel – strong enough to handle every dart of the enemy, strong enough to stand up against accusations, attacks, and doubtful peers. Let us be your voice, your hands in this world. Show us what that means and how to get there.
Make us mighty and powerful in your Kingdom. You are our Everything.
Amen
To be like Paul and risk it all without fear or hesiation; to fight to reconcile every man, woman, and child to the God who loves them, the One who died to free them; to redirect the lost and lead those who have strayed; to be the follower that Christ himself instructed us to be - there is no greater call. Being a true disciple of Jesus means fighting for the weak and broken, freeing the enslaved, guiding the lost and the hopeless, and standing up for the oppressed. I choose to be like Paul.
