Wasteland Wildflowers
An authentic view of my prayer life to bring words of hope, revival, healing, and beauty from the dry/scorched seasons of life.
May every wasteland overflow with wildflowers. (Isaiah 35)

God, strengthen me for this calling today of prayer. It's not meant to be easy, Lord. It's not meant to be distraction-free. It's not meant to just take a little bit of my time. You've called me to prayer. Fervent prayer, Lord. Give me the strength to intercede like you have called me to. Don't let my mind be distracted by how much time it takes up. Don't let my mind be distracted by what words I need to use. God, let my voice be constantly before you. Give me the strength, the physical and mental stamina that I need to come before you in prayer like you have called me to. Rise up your people to prayer, Lord. Give us the strength to set aside what we want, the rest that we want, the feelings that we have of what we deserve or what we should have during a day, Lord. All these days are yours. Every part of every day is yours. You've given it to us for our purpose. Give us the strength to stand in it. Give us the strength to pray without ceasing. Constantly bring to mind people to pray for, things to pray for, Lord, revival to pray for. Pour out a spirit of strength on your people to pray like we have never prayed before, and unleash your power and your will through our obedience to pray, Lord. Give me the strength today that I need to stand before you constantly in prayer, fervently with my whole heart. There's a reason you have given me this desire, Lord, and I pray that you give me the strength to continue in it. Even when I'm tired, even when I feel weary. That's not a prerequisite to me coming before you in prayer. God, give me the strength to overcome that. And give the people who are hearing this a desire to pray constantly for your will to be done and your kingdom to come here on earth, Lord. Let this day be used for your glory and for your honor. Let your will be done today, Lord, and let us be the ones to speak it out loud into existence, Lord. Let us partner with you in the Spirit. God, pour out wisdom on your people to pray like we have never prayed. May you get all the glory and honor, Lord. We love you. Amen.
