Anonymous PrayER

This comment/poem/prayer was left on the Senior High Blog during our 8 days of 24/7 prayer...
It hits the heart of what we're going for. It is also a great example of the desire for us to "pray in color" rather than with the same old before mealtime and bedtime religious pattern we so often fall into...

Move us God...
On our knees.
On our faces.
On our feet.
In our lives.
In our families.
In our schools.
In our church.
Into action.
so we can move out.

Help Us...

to be a people of prayer.
seek you.
find you.
embrace you.
embrace the silence.
embrace the mystery of unanswered prayer.
see Jesus as we pray.
pray.
to learn how to pray as we pray.
find our DAD.
hear you.
see you.
touch you.
taste you.
smell you.
pray boldly.
pray humbly.
to pray in the highs.
to pray in the lows.
to pray for the impossible.
to pray dangerously.
to pray selflessly

Help us pray.
And as we pray,
Help us to obey!
