(
I resolve to write out my prayers more often in order to think through my thoughts more clearly before the Lord God, the Almighty Word-smith.)
Father,
You hold the oceans and the mountains in Your hand.
You are directing me to both in the next few days to speak your truth.
I am exhausted from life’s climb and beaten by life’s waves.
I need You to carry me and grasp me tight in your fold.
No palm tree compares to Your palm,
No pinnacle compares to Your presences.
Yet in both of these things Your providence is clear.
I am not worthy to speak for You.
My life is too busy to fit you in.
How can I speak Your words if I don’t first hear your voice?
Teach me the secret to concentration.
Let me find abundance in elimination.
You are a focused King.
You know exactly what You want and you will give Your life for it.
Let my life be laser-like,
Pointed only at You, the true target of my aim.
I pray this in the name of the one who never forgot His purpose, Jesus Christ my Lord.
Amen.
