While We Forget...





We pray with good intention to remember
Oh, but then,
While we forget
Our One True God does not,
Praise Him,
Amen

It hit me last night while focused on one prayer need, that others completely slipped my mind!

 "Thank-you God for interceding in our often inept pleading."

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.  Romans 8:26

Of Confession and Intercession






I bow down before you;
face to the ground
Oh my God you hear me
though I breathe not a sound
As I pour at Your nail-scarred feet
my tear-stained confession
And you make intercession

A heap of shattered pieces
I lay down, my Lord and King
You make whole my brokenness
with One; love’s offering
And from my lascivious lips
pours my tear-stained confession
You heal me with Your promises
and You make intercession

with the power to redeem
You cleanse the filthy sinner
in the flood of Calvary’s stream
Holy, holy, holy,
I pour out tear-stained confession
As you whisper, it is finished,
and you make intercession
