Pause for Prayer: SUNDAY 1/24

After two days of driving rain here in Gloucester,
the mercury dropped and snow was soon to follow!

Frost and chill, bless the Lord;
praise and exalt him above all forever.
Ice and snow, bless the Lord;
praise and exalt him above all forever.
Daniel 3:69-70

Frost and chill may praise you, Lord,
but my heart prays for fire and heat
to warm my wintry soul...

While blessèd ice and snow exult,
my heart awaits spring's promise
and its warming deep within...

I know you come in every clime
but all within me longs for longer days
and sun's bright healing rays...

Would you, in winter, warm me, Lord,
and fan to flame a fire,
set to thaw my chill?

Would you, in winter, shine on me
a light too soon but oh, so welcome,
bright on these gray days?

Frost and chill may praise you, Lord,
but my heart begs your fire and heat
to melt and warm my soul...
         Amen.

  1. So true. Even in Atlanta where the snow came and went in a few hours. Still freezing.
