Inspiration at Its Creation

Father, we have such a silly nation that doesn't look for your spirit's illumination. Indeed, understanding what we read takes a lot of perspiration, but we thank you for the Inspiration at its Creation. And so today we ask that you would allow us to keep our minds focused, to realize that it's not a magic book of hocus pocus, but it's a place, a thing that you wrote to us. And so we must devote all of our efforts, Lord God, at reading so that we're not Deaf like Leopards, but we hear the words and let us be like your seers, the ones who understand that we need to stand in your plan. And so we sing Hosanna grandly. In all manners we give you praise and raise your Name and blaze it across the skies to hear your people's cries. I just pray that we learn to bomb your Psalms so that we can help spread calm like napalm. Let our palms not be filled with blood and crud. But remember all you've done in your Son. I pray that we learn to lament when we feel like we're sinking with shoes of cement into your river. Please deliver us, save us from the snares through our prayers. Lord God, let us not be tares but wheat that grow to your beat, that taste sweet and nutritious, Lord God. Don't allow the vicious to taste our bones. Lord God, let us not be wasted and prone to fall into a zone on the sidelines, Lord God. Instead reside in our minds. Bind us to your word. Let us turn to your pages when within our heart we feel raging. Lord God, let your sage help us assuage. Let your words have blurred all the pain. Do not allow it to remain but let us sing your holy refrains of hallelujah and hallelujah. In the name of your son Jesus, Amen.
