Prayer For Pure Perspective

 Learn to do right; seek justice and correct the oppressor.

 Defend the fatherless and plead the case of the widow.”

“Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. 

 “Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow; 

though they are as red as crimson, they will become like wool.

If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best of the land.…

Isa. 1:17-19 

"Oh God, make us willing and obedient"

For ears to hear and eyes to see

For souls that pant, my Lord, for Thee

Lest deaf and blind and starved we grope

In vain to find Your Living Hope

For longing keened by your commands

For faith to trust Your nail-scarred hands

For love to take the tender lead

Lest we follow lust, pride or greed

For diligence when dreams distract

Or logic seems to challenge fact

Lord, shine through us, pure and devout

Beyond a shadow of a doubt

Protect us from the evil one

Comfort us with ‘Thy will be done’

For You have washed our sins away

Thank-you. In Jesus’ name we pray

Amen
