So confident
So
self-assured
Thinking
they are in control
Yet inside
empty
They have a
yearning
They try to
desperately fill
With things,
time and people
Yet it is
never enough
In their
pride they think
They don’t
need a crutch
They don’t
need those spiritual things
They think
they are only rituals
Empty and
unfulfilling
They seek
love and acceptance
Through many
activities
And many
friends
Only to find
it is all empty
Father,
reach into their hearts
Pull them,
Father
Draw them to
You
Let Your
love be revealed
Open the
eyes of their hearts
Give them
the answer to their yearning
Send loving
people their way
With words
of hope
Words of
renewing
Words that
uplift
Words that
convict them
Words that
humble
And words
that that show salvation
Let their
minds understand
Comprehend
and accept
The only
true fulfillment there is
Let Your
love burst forth
Throughout
their entire being
Let Your
grace abound
Bringing
them to Your side
Let them see
they can never find
All that
their hearts yearn for
Outside of
Your will
Father, I
pray for all Your lost children
That they
may know the wondrous power
The joy of
all Your love is
Turn them
from their sinful pursuit
Of worldly
ways
Change them
into messengers
Bringing the
gospel of saving grace
To a lost
and dying world
Remake their
heart of stone
Into a heart
of clay
Moldable and
pliable
In Your
precious hands
Let their
spirit be lifted
To dwell
around Your throne
There to
find the fulfillment
They so long
for.
