The Armour

At this hour,
I thank God for allowing me to know and face the truth.
I thank God for bringing me out of the dark.
As difficult as it may be to love and be kind as Jesus would be,
I hope for the courage,
to shed my old skin, and do the impossible.
love my afflictors.

Father I am small and weak, but you are made strong in my weakness.
I am your creation, and my life belongs to you.
If this was what you meant to happen,
I thank you in advance for the day when I will look back and understand your purposes.
But at this very moment, I am as silent as the night is, before you.
If brokenness is what you need, here I am.
rescue me, and bring me comfort for you are my rock.
hear my cry against my injustice,
honour the desires of my heart for I have done my best to be faithful.
Help me to be joyful in you always as you have commanded,
because i am worth more than just this.
we are worth your son dying on the cross for us.
and i thank you for that love.
reveal yourself to me Father..

In Jesus most precious name,
Amen.
