Prayer Poem: Remember


Lord, remember me...

I have heard Your prayer, beloved...

Behold, you are healed


My soul thirsts for You

In a dry and thirsty land

My heart and my flesh fail


Satisfy my soul

I take shelter in Your wings

Sing for joy, my soul


You have been faithful

Well done, good and faithful one

Come, enter My joy


2 Kings 20.3-5; Psalm 63.1, 5-8; Matthew 25.21

Prayer: Faithful & Wise Servant


Bring to pass that which You determined long ago

May I take root downward so I may bear fruit upward

For You alone, O God, my soul waits in silence

You only are my Rock, my Fortress, my Salvation

I shall not be greatly shaken


Incline Your ear, O Lord, and hear

Open Your eyes, O Lord, and see

A faithful and wise servant

This, O Lord, I long to be


2 Kings 19.15-16, 25, 30; Psalm 62.1-2; Matthew 24.45
