Elisha's Mantle
A prayer to Awaken a Slumbering Spirit ...
Lord, I
recognize my spirit is not fully functional, not fully awake in
several areas. For some reason (confess if known) my spirit chose
not to enter into life.
I confess this as sin; I have put my light under a bushel. Like
Jonah, I have fled from the life You designed for me.
And, as with Jonah, my refusal to Live In these areas has caused
trouble. I ask Your forgiveness for the ways in which I have
wounded those around me, Lord. I ask your forgiveness for being
unwilling to live life.
God, I ask You to awaken my spirit. Cleanse my spirit and remove
the cobwebs. Thank You for not giving up on me.
Now I ask You to be even more persistent. Touch my ears so I can
hear You speaking to me.
Lord, I choose life. I make a conscious decision to be fully
present and I ask You to hold me to that decision even if at
times I don't want to.
Bring to death in me that impulse to flee. I ask that Your
resurrection life strengthen and enable me to develop new ways to
respond in each of the areas in which I am slumbering.
Help me to see Your call to life as a loving call. Help me see
the call from those who love me in the same way.
Set a guard over my life so I can respond to that call in a good
way. I thank You, Father God, for my life.
