The time today began with thanksgiving and praise, for the Lord's goodness and for His faithfulness; for His unimaginable love. Thanks to Jesus for all He endured for us and for showing us the way, for leaving those behind Him who continued to show the way.
God, deliver us from loneliness and isolation. Give us our voice. SILENCE THE ACCUSER! Come with Truth, cast the enemy into the light.
Ps. 43; 44:4-8, 20-26
Our hearts have been broken. Forgive us for giving up, for accepting defeat, losing hope and giving up on truth. Heal us and give us strength to hope again.
Restore Duty and Honor.
Prepare us for the testing, for the pressure and the loss. Prepare us for Your judgment, for cleansing, for mercy. Prepare us. Give us wisdom and discernment - eyes to see and ears to hear. Open our ears, open our hearts. Do what You have to do, just come.
Unify us. How can You do this but to reveal Yourself? Come and reveal Yourself here in Midland, that we would stand awestruck, dumbstruck, humbled and united in marveling at You and You alone! No longer enamored with our own doctrines, our own "holiness", our own rights. No longer distracted by our petty grievances, by our brothers' imperfections, by who's right and who's wrong. Remove our prejudices, remove our pride. Come and blind us with Your glory. Prepare us for this - for the terrible and wonderful revelation of Yourself. How can we stand in Your presence? We must have You, we must have more of You. Prepare us that we may be ready and not perish in the revelation of You.
Break forth, Oh God. Do not be restrained.
(I finished by praying the words to "Come Break the Chains" by Misty Edwards)
