High King of Heaven,
comfort victims of shock and loss and double
cross;
and all who feel aimless
as the result of suffering great injustice.
|
|
|
|
As we lift specific people and situations to
You now --
those we know or have heard about –
And those You know, dear Lord,
we bring them as representative of all
who are caught in the grip of extreme
misery.
Stretch out Your hand to empower
those who are walking an emotional
tightrope,
and give them daily grace to cope.
|
|
|
Let the pummelling they have received
neither shrivel their longing
nor confound their passion to press on.
|
|
|
|
May the Lord lift them up on eagles’ wings,
and swivel their gaze from earth to Heaven,
to defuse the abuse on their body, soul and
time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your hearts are open
to be set free from bondages
caused by transference
and soul ties,
then, in Jesus’ name,
we unhook the trauma
that has taken
such tight hold
and
release the pneuma
Spirit of God.
|
|
|
|
|
We unlock the pain that is pressing in
and
pray strength into your spirits
once again.
|
|
|
|
Inspire us to reach out to these
people
lest we inadvertently add to their
sense of isolation.
For it is less wise and inspired
solutions
that hurting souls desire so much as
our physical presence and support.
Help us add to the heartsore’s
comfort store
by knowing the difference
between timely intervention and
brittle meddling.
|

Rekindle ancient giftings
and blow on those who have grown
stale or dispirited.
Pierce the fog of self satisfaction
and the dank dark clouds that hang
above our land.
Penetrate the fog of war,
the threat of famine,
the loss of influence,
the lament of loneliness,
the bars of cruel imprisonment,
and the loneliness of life without
You.
You bring many of us to the place
where we must surrender all to You,
even as You gained a greatly
multiplied harvest
when Abraham was willing to make the
sacrifice on Mount Moriah.
|
|
|
|
|
Your peace only comes
when we reach the splendour of this fuller
surrender,
submitting to the yoke that we must bear –
then living powerfully through what must be.
|
|
|
For others, the key time comes
when they must challenge their constrictions
and seek to break the mould.
|
|
|
And just as You led Elijah to the
careworn widow
as she picked up sticks to make a
forlorn fire
and serve one last meal before she
died,
reach out to embrace those who have
been deeply knocked
and so badly hurt
that they are no longer spiritually
alert.
Marshal resources on behalf of these
dear ones,
so that the fire of thorns becomes
once more a happy family hearth.
