Are You Grieving Lord ?

What's Your grievance today, my Lord?
What is it that's breaking Your heart?
Is it poverty that's seen globally
Or is it injustice and inequality
Or the complacency of today's culture?

Or is it us, the Christians
who have let you down so badly?
We, who have become so busy running Your work
with our own plans and agenda
And having less or no time to sit with You
to know Your heart and to follow Your guidance.

You sent Your disciples, two by two
to cities and villages to preach
with no certainty of place to stay
no provision of cash or clothes to take
That was Your way
the Kingdom way of teaching
to trust and obey.

Are You saddened by the way we minister
the way we live and the choices we make
Have we put You aside and run to You only
when we are in trouble?
Have we lost our sight to see Your point of view
Have we lost the power to heal the sick and cast out the devil?
O Lord, have we lost the annointing of the Spirit
to be the light and salt of the earth?

Strike us Lord, if You need to
Strike us in Your mercy
Bring us back to the altar to repent
And to renew our committments and serve You the way You desire.
Empower us Lord, to walk in victory
And to be the Salt and Light to the world around us!
