Praying Through: Psalm 32:8-9

The Psalm

The Prayer

Spirit of Christ

Without you,

I am completely ignorant of you.

There are not enough classes in the world

to sit and learn about you.

There are not enough books

to sit and read to know you.

All the data in the world

multiplied one billion fold
couldn't even contain
what the Son has done
what the Father has thought
let alone how You move.

All knowledge, wisdom, and understanding

philosophies, logic, reason
science, medicine, and technology
comes from you
and is all your own.

More so

to even see your glory
to even call upon your name
to even pray to you
to be saved by you
that sheer ability and knowledge
you will need to give that to us first.

We are dead in our trespasses

and dead men do not cry out
Dead men do not think
Dead men cannot pray
Dead men cannot worship
unless you give them life.

Uncover our eyes

open our ears
change our minds
unmute our tongues
exchange our hearts
and make Your place
into our souls.

Mark us

seal us
unto the Father.

Praise your holy name.
