One Prayer

I'll forget this if I don't put it in black and white tonight.

At the urging of the Spirit I have been encouraged to make this words of a song my prayer for 2010.

It is no secret to the people close to me that I am launching into an adventure, a journey that is as yet unchartered or itinerised yet it's intimate meanderings are already known by God. He has been calling me gently for the last few months to leave what is comfortable, to leave what is safe, to leave the support of friends and mentors and to adventure. I do it with a heart that is both expectant and excited but equally terrified.

I have a prayer for the year that the Spirit stirred up in my heart tonight. It was echoed in the words of a song and I wanted to put it out there;

So that I may come back to it and remember at the end of difficult days,

So that you may pray it with me.

So that when 2011 starts and can look back and give glory to my Father as I tell the story of how He answered.

This is my prayer:

That God would heal my heart and make it clean

Open up my eyes to the things unseen

Show me how to love as you have loved me.

Break my heart for what breaks yours,

Everything I have for your Kingdom's cause

As I walk from earth into eternity.

Amen
