When we talk about prayer, we usually think of us talking and God listening. But what if we could have an actual conversation with Him? Exodus 33:11 says:
"Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend."
Today's prayer is based on that idea, entirely using scripture passages.
*****
THE LORD CAME CALLING
"Where are you?"
“Speak, for your servant is listening.”
“Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
“Who am I, Lord? How can I save them? I am the weakest. I am the least. What if they do not believe me? What if they do not listen?"
“The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.”
"Show me your glory.”
"The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished...."
“Woe to me! My eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty! I have seen the Lord face to face!”
"The Lord's fire has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”
"Lord, you made the human mouth. Help me speak and teach me what to say."
“Go in the strength you have. Am I not sending you?”
“If your Presence does not go with me, do not send me up from here."
"Be strong and courageous, Be strong and very courageous. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
"Here am I. Send me!”
"Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend."
