Isaiah 30 & a prayer

(Originally written July 6, 2005 in Talks with God)

Lord I am starting to feel complacent in my role and I am starting to get comfortable and I am pushing boundaries. Stretch me more so that I am not comfortable and I don't push your limits.

I am in sin. Help me Lord and pull me up. Do not abandon me. Hear my plea for help. I want to serve you in all I do and I cannot do this alone. I need and want you to help. Hear my cry Lord as you have heard countless cries before. Make me an effective tool for your work. You didn't make me ordinary, help me achieve extraordinary things for you.

Isaiah 30:19-22

"O people of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious He will be when you cry for help! As soon as He hears, He will answer you. Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will se them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it". Then you will defile your idols overlaid with silver and your images covered with gold. You will throw them away like a menstrual cloth and say to them, "away with you!
"
