A Friday Prayer


Most gracious and ever-loving God.
Author of our healing,
Champion of the oppressed.
We thank you for your immeasurable mercy & love.

We adore you Savior and Lord.
You only are worthy of our praise and worship - now & forevermore.

In earnest petition - with contrite and thankful hearts,
Heal our broken hearts.
Mend our souls and grant us shalom.
Protect our lives - from temptation & from ourselves.
Redirect our paths - so that they may lead to you.
Rekindle our passion for you - again & again.
Burden our minds to love like You - neighbor & enemy alike.
Bring us out of the desert of our comfort zones.
Disturb & disrupt our lives into complete surrender.
Drive us toward full dependency in & for You.
Take all control away from our hands, hearts and minds - for you alone are our Sovereign God.

Transform our lives.
Transfigure our countenance.
Transcend our pettiness and direct our eyes toward your majesty.

On this day, grant us the revelation of your will, absolute confidence in your promises and the undeniable witness of your presence.

On this day, come Holy Spirit -

Come...

In Jesus' name,

Amen.
