Intercession

Intercession

I put on my armor this morning

     Each price lovingly placed.

A ritual, yet not a habit.

A daily occurrence,

     Sometimes with more thought than others.

Each piece examined,

     polished

     cleaned,

     repaired

                through prayer. But.......

today my armor seems heavy.

It seems too big for me,

it makes my heart ache. Lord,

     where is the repair for that?

Today I want to be a child again,

     with five stones 

                  and a slingshot

     or dancing with all my might

                  before your throne. Yet,

because of obedience, I put my armor in place.

Because of love I raise up to take my position

                   in Your unseen Army and 

the ache once again

causes intercession to begin.
