Fall fresh! Waves of mercy, flood our streets!
Father, Maker, Creator of all things, send all-consuming torrents of hope and peace and love. Sweep over me, over my community, with power only Your Holy Spirit can bring.
Let light shine into the darkest places. Let hope fill the most desperate heart. Let knowledge enlighten the most unengaged. Let action meet belief and let strength empower compassion.
Let it be this way in me. Inspire me so that I might live this day with the right blend of words and silence. Make quick my impulse to rightness and justice, and slow my more easily provoked anger impulses.
Let healing prevail. Continue the good things in my wife that you started long ago. Bring the wellness You’ve placed in her to full manifestation in her body. Speak over the grieving and struggling hearts that linger here in this prayer now. Give us the inner understanding of the power and purpose you bring to the life of the expectant believer. Yes, make me an expectant man! Make me pregnant with hope and virtue and god-directed strength. Let healing flow from Your lips, through mine, into the streets of this city.
Raise up believers who believe, the redeemed who will redeem, the grace-filled who become grace-full. Let Your grace be like rocket fuel in us, motivating and powering us to do the good things You planned long ago.
Fall fresh, I cry! I hunger for it! I seek it! I wait!
