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

Isaiah 46:4

Do you have a moment, sir; could you tell me a story? I can see at least one held captive in your eye If you have a moment, ma'am, I'd like to hear a little of the storms that traced the lines where my cheek is still smooth Tell me, sir, of a day that one white hair stands for and most of all I want to know what kept that twinkle in your eye Please tell me, ma'am, how you're still smiling though you've known pain and heartbreak so much longer than I have Was it easier to let go the tenth time?
