If we sought a fresh vision of prayer
and our prayers suddenly become visible ...
We would find the Father's children
sitting on His lap adoring Him and
basking in His overflowing love and joy.
We would watch our pleadings call the
wooing light of the Spirit into dark lives.
We would rejoice to see guilt-ridden souls
bow at Christ's cross then rise to
dance in pure freedom and new life.
Ears would be pressed to God's heartbeat and love,
catching the rhythm to go and service in His strength.
Some prayers would be faithfully chopping
holes in the roof of despair to lower suffering
friends to the feet of Jesus for His touch.
Others would be found scooping faith and strength to
endure from the bottomless well of Christ's sacrifice.
And the flashing of warriors' sword would be seen
everywhere as the powerful Sword of the Spirit
slashes at evil to make way for truth and light.
While we can't yet see what happens in heavens,
we can begin to see what prayer accomplishes on earth.
