‘O God, why have You cast us off forever?

Remember Your congregation, which You have purchased of old…

The enemy has damaged everything in the sanctuary.

Your enemies roar in the midst of Your meeting place…

They set up their banners for signs…

They have set fire to Your sanctuary;

They have defiled the dwelling place of Your name to the ground.

They said in their hearts,

“Let us destroy them altogether.”

They have burned up all the meeting places of God in the land…

We do not see our signs;

There is no longer any prophet…

Oh, do not deliver the life of Your turtledove to the wild beast!

Do not forget the life of Your poor forever…

Arise, O God, plead Your own cause!!!’ (Ps 74)

“Dear Heavenly Father,

We need You. Please incline Your ear and listen to the cry of Your Beloved. We are in great danger. I call You in this day of trouble, answer me and I shall glorify You!

Birds of prey have entered Your house. Their voices are loud and their laughter so cruel. They have destroyed all that was good, all the gifts You have given to us. They use the golden vessels of Your worship to drink wine and to make merry. They have their own banners, their own music and their own prophets. They steal Your words and scatter them. They spoil the faith of many. They are bold and harsh, violent and rude. They manufacture miracles but the healings do not last. They break the hearts of the poor and oppress them with yokes too hard to carry. Your people are discouraged and hide away in caves. There is no true prophet to speak Your Word. There is a famine of the hearing of Your Words. Their prophets dream fake stories and deceive the simple. Their leaders make merchandise of your Gospel. They promise people peace, when there is no peace. Prayer has become a burden and worship is a wasted interlude.

Father God, remember the glory of Your name! There is no name like the name of Jesus!

Father in Heaven, please remember Your congregation! We are gathered in Your name! We are the sheep of Your pasture! We are the people of Your inheritance! We are the people of Your covenant!

Our hope is in You alone! If a man could have helped us, we could not have bothered You, O Lord. But no man and no angel can help. Salvation is of God alone. Your Sanctuary, Your Word, Your Name, Your Kingdom and Your Glory…all these are Yours alone. All power belongs to You! None can resist You, O Lord! We believe Your promises! Your Word is yes and amen to us! Your testimony is at stake in our lives! We plead for mercy, O Lord! Glorify Your name in our midst!

Father God, come and fight against the enemy of Your Bride! Cause confusion in their midst! Remove Your protection from them! May they be disappointed in their wicked plans!  May they fall in the pit they dug for us! Arise O Lord! Come down from heaven and plead Your own cause! Let people see that we are called by Your name!  Grant us revival, with true miraculous signs following!

May light shine in the darkness! May the blind see and the poor rejoice! May the sick be healed! May the depressed be comforted! May people be saved and delivered! May the glory of God cover our land like the waters cover the sea! May freedom blow its trumpet!

I declare that Jesus Christ is Lord over all!

Thank You Father for reading this letter….We wait for You to come…

I love You Lord!

Your Turtledove…’
