word. if i were to read one of my posts perhaps i'd pick this one.

this year i found a word that i just know i want to be the theme song of my days

it's already been my prayer over and over and over again
as i first wake up in the morning.
it's a word that i'm leaning on with all that i have
as a slight sense of weary can tempt to overtake me if i don't 
cry out to God to do something in my heart that only He alone can do...

revive.

it's a simple word
but with the power of God behind it 
has potential to explode with possibility that i can only begin to imagine.
and fear and cynicism and negative junk fade.  albeit slowly.....

{and so i pray}

revive my heart, o God
i need a fresh vision of all that YOU see
of all that YOU can do
of all that YOU can provide

revive my heart, o God
i need to see my life as YOU see it
i need to see my family as YOU see them
i need to see my friends as YOU see them
i need to see the world of people around me as YOU see them

revive my heart, o God
i need to see my church as YOU see it
i need to see YOUR church as YOU see it
i need to see the work that YOU are accomplishing in it as just that
{work that YOU ALONE are accomplishing}

revive my heart, o God
help me to pray with the anticipation that YOU long for me to possess
help me to trust with the childlike faith YOU long for me to possess
help me to reach out with the selflessness that YOU long for me to possess

i am so weak
{but that's really the mystery of it all}
because YOU know, Lord, that when I am weak I am strong because of YOU alone.

so revive my heart, o God
and may i see 2012 with the eyes of heaven.

{enjoy this day, all!}
