A Simple Prayer: GOD Is Calling

Father GOD

YOU are calling us. The world is dark and broken. The dawn has not come. The first rays of light have not peaked over the horizon. Yet YOU call. Will we answer? Will we heed the call?

War drums are on the horizon. I can hear them faintly, echoing through the hills and over land. YOU call. YOU call us to carry YOUR shield and YOUR sword. To wear YOUR armor in a wicked and twisted world. To stand in battle. And YOU call.

Many men and women are more worthy. Many more qualified. Many more experienced. Yet YOU called my name. Father Papa, who am I?

YOU knew me before I was formed. YOU fully know me. No secret can I hide from YOU. No fear or doubt YOU do not know. No part of my substance is a mystery to YOU. YOU know me more intimately than I know myself. My soul is laid bare to YOUR eyes. And YOU called.

Who am I to doubt myself when The GOD of All calls me? I will close my eyes and step forward in faith. I will wear the armor of GOD. I will pick up my sword and shield. I will make a stand. Make in me YOUR vessel. I will sing YOUR praise.

I will rise up and stand unafraid. GOD is calling.

Amen
