My Prayer...

Lord
Please fill our broken hearts with You
So that we will not feel ashamed any longer.
Please fill the empty space inside us
So that we will not long for that which You would call an idol
Please Lord, reach out and touch the unlovable, the unloved, the rejected
Please Lord of all Heaven and Earth, cause Your Spirit to pour out on the broken hearted
Lord, our lives are broken and our spirits are crushed, and we hope in You
But please Lord, hurry
Please Lord, go where the broken lay and heal them
Please Lord, go there, into those lonely rooms, into those crowded spaces and pour out Your Love into those empty hearts.
Please Lord, reveal Who You Are
Please Lord, we wander in desert wastelands, finding nowhere to settle
We are hungry and thirsty and our lives are ebbing away
Please deliver us from our distress and lead us to You, our settling place
Lord, many have rebelled and rejected Your Love
But Lord, I pray, forgive them, have mercy Lord for Your Names Sake
And woo them unto Yourself
Bring them out of darkness and save them from their chains
Cause them to cry out to You Lord, in their times of trouble
Send forth Your Word and Heal them
Lift the needy out of their affliction
Let us heed You
And consider Your Great Love
That Your Glorious Name
Be Praised.

Amen
