Not only is there zero conviction of sin in our land, there is zero awareness that people are even sinning. The sin has become celebrated and paraded, excused and tolerated. The sin is beginning to look like the norm. The sin has come upon the land as a dense fog, overtaking everything with its murderous grasp. The sin has darkened all, so much so, that we can't remember what the light looks like. There are small torches, where You, Yahweh, reside in the souls of Your children. May it be enough to point towards holiness, "This is the way, walk in it!" Bring back conviction, Holy Spirit. Bring back holiness. We don't deserve it and it is possibly too late, but I will cry out anyway.
My heart writhes in anguish as I behold less and less of You in our land. Compensate and reveal Yourself more and more to me and to those who seek Your face. Give me wisdom in the secret. Give me glimpses, no not glimpses, let me full on behold your glory, your goodness, your grace in these times. Don't let me miss You when all comes undone. As they snuff You from our land, shine brighter and brighter through Your vessels. Help us represent You well. We will need a heap of grace for the beauty of Christlikeness as fear and terror surround.
Put a hedge of protection around all we hold dear. Please come down and show off, Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Manifest Yourself so that all will believe. I saw You in a dream. A lion. Pounding in the tall grass, mere steps from the open field where You'd no longer be shrouded or hidden or only partly known. You were almost upon us. Your righteous roar beckoning all to worship You. Unveil Yourself, King of Kings. Whether we know it or not, it is You we long for.
