Pause for Prayer: TUESDAY 12/1

Image source

If Isaiah could sing, this would be his song...

 

Prepare a way for you, Lord?

Well, first of all, I know you're already here,

you're always at my side,

24/7/365...

 

And second, I know you don't need my help

to clear the road for you to travel:

you go anywhere you want, 

any time you want,

regardless of terrain...

 

So, what does Isaiah mean when he tells me

to prepare a way for your arrival,

to clear the highway for your coming?

 

Does something in my heart

keep you from dwelling

ever deeper in my soul?

 

Have I thrown up any road blocks 

impeding me 

from meeting your approach?

 

What's in the way between us, Lord?

Something needing course correction?

Something to be cleared away? cleaned up? 

I guess Isaiah's right, Lord!

Got some road work needing attention,

some Advent highway maintenance

to clear my path to you

as you make your way to me...

 

Amen.
