Right here - right now


So many doors.  Lord, these choices are too important to treat them like a game show.  I need your direction.  I will not open another door until you speak.  I will not start another ministry or project, I will not commit my time to anyone else unless you specifically direct it.

Help me.  Father, I pray for discernment between the things that are “good” and the things specifically directed by you.  You created time – I know you can teach me how to manage it.  Lord, I don’t want to just manage time.  I desire to learn how you flow through time.  Teach me.  Show me how to make time my servant and aide me in my service to you.

Holy Spirit, I ask for a revelation and vision of what you want to do in this congregation, in this ministry, at this time.  I desire to be in sync with you and your plan.  I need you to give clarity and detailed direction.  Show us the big picture first.  Open our eyes to see the things you really want to do right here and right now.  Then show us exactly what our part is in your plan. 

Father, send the wind of the Holy Spirit to refresh and invigorate us.  Get our attention with your sweet fragrance.  Help us to breathe deep and be renewed. 

Lord open a fountain of life within each of us.  Lord, we want to go past “looking for someone else’s  river” and open up the well you’ve placed inside each of us.  Cause us to be the fountain head through which you refresh others.  Let the rivers of living water flow out from our bellies.  Spring up, O well, within my soul.

  1. Pat, I'm sure God smiles when He hears your prayers because I smile when I read them because they are so heartfelt, so sincere, and so honest. (and they are so clearly from a woman's view point to which I can easily relate.) I appreciate your choice of everyday words and your directness. I pray that you will be lifted up, that your prayers for your congregation are answered, and that you will be blessed with God's peace and love.
