The Stage

With a new year comes new hope. 
We are busting out of survival mode and beginning to dream again.
And while a favorite song played on my playlist tonight I began to pray...

Lord, in this next phase, we are:
   Clearing the stage
   Crushing the idols
   Seeking You, Lord.
   
   Waiting for what You have in store.
   Knowing that great is our reward, 
   And being hopeful.

   We're taking a break from all the plans that we have made.
   Waiting for You to whisper...
   Begging, "please", for You to open up Your mouth and speak.
   Praying for REAL, upon our knees, until they blister

   

   Shine Your LIGHT on every corner of our lives, oh God.

   We're reading Your Word

   Putting to test the things we've heard...

   As our hearts and souls are stirred and rocked and broken.

Lord, we are clearing the stage. 
     And making some space for YOU, the One who deserves it.

"We wait for the Lord, our souls wait,

and in His word we put our hope.

Our souls wait for the Lord

more than watchmen wait for the morning.."

Psalm 130:5-6
