OUR NEED=FOR RENEWAL!

 

OUR NEED=FOR RENEWAL

(This Lent)

 

There is a lot=

GOING ON in this world

And  a lot of it=

Isn’t any good

 

IF there was  ever

A NEED=for a time

Of RENEWAL=it is now

 

This world=our country

And ALL of us individually

And COLLECTIVELY

OUR NEED=FOR RENEWAL=with God

Is for real

 

“Let us KNOW=

Let us strive=TO KNOW

The Lord”                                                                                                                            Hosea 6:3

 

To RENEW=

We must look deep=WITHIN OURSELVES

And then=we must

OPEN OUR HEARTS

 

We need to get

IN TOUCH=with our attitudes=

Our thoughts=and our feelings

We must get=to KNOW GOD BETTER

Than ever before

OUR NEED FOR RENEWAL

(This Lent)

 

“……..who satisfies

Your desires with good things=

So that your youth=IS RENEWED

Like the eagle’s”                                                                                                                   Psalm 103:5

 

“Therefore=we

Do not lose heart=

Though outwardly

 

We are wasting away=yet inwardly

We are being RENEWED

Day by day”                                                                                                                   2 Corinthians 4:16

 

“Do not conform=

To the pattern=of the world

But be transformed

BY THE RENEWING=of your mind”                                                                              Romans 12:2

 

We need to GIVE God

And Jesus=our whole selves

This Lent

 

We need to give them

What they want from us=

OUR LOVE=our mercy towards each other

And our humility=

We really NEED to be

IN TOUCH=with our God=this Lent

 

“Saul also went

To his home=In Gilead

Accompanied by valiant men

Whose hearts=GOD HAD TOUCHED”                                                                                 2 Samuel 10:26

 

“People brought

All their sick=to him

And begged him

 

To let the sick=TOUCH

The edge of his cloak=and all

WHO TOUCHED IT=were healed”                                                                                   Matthew 14:36

 

Dear Lord=we come to you

THIS LENT=meek and humble=in heart

 

Asking you=to heal us

Heal our country=and

Heal our world=we especially

NEED YOUR RENEWAL=in all of us

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our Holy and EVER HEALING Father God
