Here’s a timely prayer of petition and lament from the
Sudan. It was posted on Bruce Prewer’s Homepage.
Waiting for Jesus:
A Prayer of Lament
“The messenger of the covenant in whom you delight—
indeed, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts.” Malachi 3:1
many of us are waiting for you:
the war-torn are waiting for
peace,
the hungry are waiting for
bread.
the refugees are waiting for a
homeland,
the sick are waiting for
healers.
Have you forgotten us?
O Lord, come quickly, we pray.
Amen.
