Restore Me, O Lord

2/12/2021

This was my prayer this morning as I pondered the snow....
Restore me, O Lord.  Restore my spirit.
Fill me with your presence
Show me the path of love.

Things around me seem so fleeting,
Show me the real.
Let me not put my energy into meaningless endeavors
Help me to stay focused on the how not the what.
Help me to look beyond all the ways everyone else focuses on the what and not the how.
Help me to be compassionate toward those who trample on others, who force their way, their agenda over everything else.
Help me not to get hooked into anger, frustration, despair over the insistence of old patterns, old systems, broken and harmful practices.

Restore me, O Lord.
Fill my heart with hope,
Hope that we can live a different way - Your way.
Hope that we can create space for healing...for respect...for authentic care...for kindness...for being.

Restore me, O Lord.
Restore in me the vision of Your kingdom.
Fill me with the energy and courage to bring that about.
Help me get out of the way so you can do all this through me.

I desire what you desire.

Restore me, O Lord,
so that I may be an instrument of your peace, your hope, your love.
AMEN
