The Lord woke me one night, I was moved to pray.\u00a0 I wasn’t sure what to pray for, so I submitted myself to pray in the Spirit, but to my delight the phrases were in English\u00a0and they rhymed!\u00a0 So I got up and told the Lord that if he continued to provide the words, I would write them down and share them at church.\u00a0 You’ll recognize the title of this poem from a previous post.\u00a0 I gave the title after I wrote the poem.\u00a0 Or I should say, after God wrote the poem.\u00a0 It really was amazing how fast this poem came together and how little I had to massage the words, most of this just poured out onto the page.\u00a0 The pastor of our church commented that artistic expression is often a sign of revival within a person or church.\u00a0 A couple of weeks before this another young man in our church had also shared a prayer had written, and we’ve had tremendous artistic expression come from our prayer room.\u00a0 It’s exciting to see God move, and it’s good to pray this poem from time to time to offer your service to the Lord.\u00a0 Merry Christmas!<\/p>\n
Less of Me, More of You But thank God he is faithful and always pursues us, I repent, Lord, for the times I have overlooked and ignored So take my heart, replace it with yours, Give me the courage Lord, that when these things come true The Lord woke me one night, I was moved to pray.\u00a0 I wasn’t sure what to pray for, so I submitted myself to pray in the Spirit, but to my delight the phrases were in English\u00a0and they rhymed!\u00a0 So I got up and told the Lord that if he continued to provide the words, I…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-faith","wpcat-9-id"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p504YJ-ft","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":725,"url":"https:\/\/www.themoehrings.com\/index.php\/2010\/08\/mouthpiece-for-god","url_meta":{"origin":959,"position":0},"title":"Mouthpiece for God","author":"Becca","date":"August 29, 2010","format":false,"excerpt":"One Sunday two ladies in our church felt God stir them to go through each of the classrooms during Sunday School and pray for each child individually.

\nLike lost sheep, we scatter and flee,
\nrunning from you, seeking our own destiny.
\nShambles and ruin, await you and me
\nwhen we ignore the wisdom of “Jesus Loves Me”.<\/p>\n
\nto the very end of our days, He chooses us.
\nHoping and waiting for the day when we cry,
\nI have been crucified with Christ, this life is not mine,
\nDo what you will, and glory be thine!<\/p>\n
\nthe cries of your people, who you adore.<\/p>\n
\nThat I might love like I’ve never loved before.
\nTake my lips, use them as thine,
\nSpeaking truth to their hearts, and mine.
\nTake my eyes and let me see,
\nthe realities of eternity.
\nTake my ears that I might hear,
\nthe angels proclaiming “The time is near!”
\nTake my mind, and fill it up.
\nQuicken it Lord, with your good stuff.
\nTake my hands, and let them be
\na blessing to those who cannot see.
\nTake my feet, and move me please,
\nto the divine appointments you have for me.<\/p>\n
\nI will be a humble servant, obedient to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
