Prayers/Gordon P. Robertson

For A Fresh Baptism of Love (spontaneous)

Lord we come to you and we ask
that you would ignite the flame within us:
that our love would never grow cold,
that we would do the work of the ministry
with fervent desire.

Be with us, and enable us.

Lord I ask that you would take away
all weariness,
all fatigue,
all sense of routine.
Would you open our eyes
to the infinite possibilities of each moment.
Each moment where we can share your love, and your grace, and your mercy.

Lord we can't do this on our own,
but with you all things are possible.
Lord, inhabit us
Make us your temple.
And may our prayer ever be:
Lord, What would you have us to do.
Lord, What would you have me to do.

Be with us.
For we ask it in Jesus name. Amen.
