PRAYER FOR TARGETS

Sitting in the bathroom

Reading from God’s word…

The mind wanders to regret

Of past mistakes interred.

–

Times where one’s mind did slip

Into self-righteousness…

Not being careful where I was,

Stepping into what kind of mess !

–

Stories of pastors whose

Lives became fraught

By indiscretions,

Especially when caught.

–

And those few major media mates

Who wouldn’t knuckle under…

Found themselves pariahs,

Empires torn asunder.

–

Laughing stock of laughing-stock,

It still brings a shiver…

So-called giants of the Lord

Sent up the river!

–

Knowing what a target feels

In my own small way…

I urge all under the Lord,

To for leadership pray.
