BESIDE STILL WATERS

COME, LORD, COME…

BY RUSANNE CAROLE

LORD, I went for a walk on Your planet this morning

Things seemed different –I noticed the shape of the clouds I noticed the shade of blue in the sky

The birds were singing The colors of the flowers were ever so vibrant

Yet violence is raging

Children are hurting and being hurt

Families are torn apart

Wars are continuing for wrong reasons and for way too long PANDEMICS, DISEASE, AND DEVASTATION ALL AROUND

Some may say we hope to get back to life again But my heart yearns that life will be different

COME, LORD, COME

COME INTO OUR HEARTS, OUR MINDS, AND OUR WAYS

COME WHISPER INTO THE EARS OF BABES COME SHOUT INTO THE HEARTS OF YOUR PEOPLE, YOUR CREATION

MADE IN YOUR IMAGE

HOW ARE WE TRULY REFLECTING YOU?

I pray we embrace the lessons we are destined to learn this time around Holy Spirit, let your wind of truth and change be swift and stupendous

Angels, dancing and swirling, celebrating all who are waking up to the truth of our loving Saviour!

The truth that brings new life.

Risen from the ashes of old

Our days are numbered

Let us be the people You desire us to be, You created us to be!

Let us smile more

Let us serve You more

Let us pray more!

Let us surrender to Your Word, Your way, and Your purposes

Let us truly know You more!

Help us to take care of ourselves and each other more

I look with anticipated expectation that we’ll be a kinder, more compassionate, and loving race, no matter where we’re physically placed on this planet we call home for a time

Bring Your people into their Promised Land

Bring Your people into the Promised Land that only You can deliver them to

Waiting!

Praying!

Trusting!

You are the light – even in this darkness that seeks to surround us and take us down

Bring Your kingdom to earth, Father!

Light it afire with the love of You and all You are!

A revival never seen before, Lord

That our generation will be lit with the flames of regeneration and renewal God, we are here!

Open our ears and our hearts to hear You and continue pursuing YOU

We are Yours, here and forevermore.
