Our Overwhelming God


“From the ends of the earth I call to You, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.  For You have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.”  Ps. 61:2-3

Father, I pray that You would overwhelm that which overwhelms us.  May Your perfect love and authority be displayed so that those things that appear to be controlling us, hindering us, and besetting us are totally and completely overwhelmed by You.

May You come with the gentle power that disrupts, disturbs, and destroys those obstacles that are in our way.  Let the force of Your unfailing love and relentless compassion be like the waves coming to wash over us and separate us from those obstacles.  May each and every hindrance go out with receding tide.

Lord, lead us to the Rock that is Jesus the King.  Bring us to the safe place where we can re-gain our footing and not stumble.  Thank You that when we are led to Jesus, we are led to a place higher than ourselves, greater than ourselves; a place that filled with awe and splendor and beauty – all because You are there.

You have been our refuge so many times before; the cleft in the Rock where we can hide away.  You have been our strong tower and sanctuary from the adversary.  We come to You once again, seeking Your presence, Your power, and Your protection – and we find it in You.

Hear our cry O God and listen to our prayer.
