Father, feed me with the finest wheat
And with honey from the rock, satisfy my soul.
Let the water of Your Word wash over me
And cleanse and make me whole.
You give food to those who fear You, Lord,
You remember Your covenant, forevermore.
Your faithfulness is to all generations, O God.
You show mercy to and satisfy the poor.
Help me to incline my ear
And let Your Words not depart from my sight.
Help me keep them in the midst of my heart, O Lord,
For in the midst of Your Words, I find life.
Your Word breaks the snare
Of the trapper, O Lord!
Like a bird, my soul is set free.
My help is in the name of the Lord, my God,
For now and for all eternity.

Prayer For The Prodigal
My husband asked me to write down what I shared with him, about this poem. The Lord gave this poem to me while sitting in the swing on the front porch, praying. There was an urgency to run in the house for pen and paper and write down what the Holy Spirit was saying. He spoke quickly, so quickly I could barely keep up as I frantically wrote this poem down. I said all of this to say, please pray for the prodigals also. Keep on praying for them if you have been and if you haven’t, please begin. Now is the time, this is the hour. Pray they would respond to the Spirit’s call and return to the Father who loves them so:
Prayer for the Prodigals
Bring them home, O Lord,
Bring them home.
Those who have shunned your presence, bring them home.
Whether for a season of sin’s pleasures,
Or stubbornness of heart,
Grant them sorrow and sure turning.
Bring them home, O Lord,
Bring them home.
Cast your net, O Lord, wide and deep.
May your hand of conviction
Rest soundly on hearts,
May your tender cords draw sure and strong.
Bring them home, O Lord,
Bring them home.
May their lamps once again
Shine bright as before.
May their hearts be entwined with your own.
May their giftings be used
To glorify the King
Bring them home, O Lord,
Bring them home.
Use this pestilence
to turn on the light once again,
To shake foundations
And awaken to life.
To cause a yearning to return
To the Father’s house;
To safety, to hope,
To Your love and Your might.
Bring them home, O Lord,
Bring them home.
