Merciful Lord

Help us to persevere when the odds are against us. Our hearts find rest in You. God of power. God of love. God of grace. Consume us. Consecrate us. Make us an instrument of praise.

With our eyes on the finishing line, our hearts burn with hope. We have every reason to rejoice. We have every reason to celebrate.

Teach us to number our days. As we lay on Your altar, sanctify  us. Refine us. Rebuild our broken lives.

We pray for a heart that pines for You all day long. We pray for a deeper hunger. We pray for unquenchable thirst. We long for You.
