intercession

This is something I wrote during prayer group, it's not much, maybe repetitive, but it's a prayer for our youth and the church.


dryness
lack of hunger
death
give us You
give us thirst
give us hunger
teach us to run
to You
lay aside weights
fight
rejoice
love
stand in awe
be patiently persevering
teach us to feel
give us clarity
wisdom
trust
teach us to give over control
focus us
let us be obsessed with the goal
rest in You
give us awe
hope
teach us to worship

Hold tight to pull me from the sloughs of despond and doubt. Let us stay close in the cold of this world to fan each other's flame. Let us build our friendship to last beyond time.
