The Scope of Prayer

I cant claim to have written this one, But its amazing.......

 

The scope of prayer
Through prayer there is no problem that can't be solved,
no sickness that can't be healed, no burden that can't be lifted,
no storm that can't be weathered,
no devastation that can't be relieved,
no sorrow that can't be erased,
no poverty cycle that can't be broken,
no sinner that can't be saved,
no perishing that can't be rescued,
no fallen that can't be lifted,
no hurt that can't be removed,
no broken relationship that can't be mended,
no difference that can't be resolved,
no hindrance that can't be shaken,
no limitation that can't be overcome,
no mourning that can't be comforted,
no ashes that can't be that can't become beauty,
no heaviness that can't be covered with the garment of praise,
no thirst that can't be quenched, no hunger that can't be filled,
no dry ground that can't be flooded,
no desert that can't blossom,
no congregation that can't be revived,
no preacher that can't be anointed,
no church pews that can't be filled,
no church leadership team that can't become 'one,'
no community that can't be Christianised and
no nation that can't be transformed.

Anon. Cure of all Ills, Mary Stewart Relfe p.5 (slightly adapted Tony Cauchi)

Yearning

For all those people out there that are waiting and hoping for promises that are yet to be revealed or fully forfilled.

Yearning

A promise given

The spoken words received

Shatter this present day

A new time is coming

Heralded, beckoned in

Summoned from afar

The heart is waiting

The spirit is yearning

The body is anticipating

The mind is expecting

Poised ready for it

For that promise to come

Of more than now

Of better times to come

Keep watching and waiting

It will come one day

Keep yearning and hoping

For it will come someway.
