Roar, Lion of Judah

In times like these my cry for help is worship.  I cry out my total dependence on you.  You are my source, my Father, my deliverer and healer.  All that I am and all that I have I lay in a broken heap at your feet.  Consume this humble sacrifice so I can start over.  Baptize me in your loving-kindness.  Immerse me in your river of life until I am clean, refreshed and new.  Help me.  Be my God. 

Now that I am emptied of all my “stuff” – I invite you Holy Spirit to come and inhabit this earth-suit.  Pray through me, Holy Spirit.

Lord, I pray for those who are on the front-lines and invading the kingdom of darkness.  Let your word be a ready weapon in their mouths.  Be their shield and protection.  Reveal the plots and tactics of the enemy against them.  Forearm and prepare them for whatever lay ahead.  Fight for them, Lord.  Give them evangelistic strategy and a harvest of souls. 

Roar, Lion of Judah.  Roar until our enemy quakes in feeble surrender.  Roar until the chains fall from the captives.  Roar until the facades of man’s laws and policies fall like the walls of Jericho.  Roar until the chains of addictions fall off.  Roar until cancer shrivels and dies.  Roar until the intimidators cower in fear.  Roar, Lion of Judah!  Roar out your fierce war cry until it becomes our sound of triumph.  Roar until we dance in victory. The kingdom, the power and the glory are yours forever and ever.  AMEN – So be it.
