Hallowed Prayer

 

Study of the Hebrew and Greek words for “holy” show us that people, places and times can be hallowed–that is, set apart and devoted to God.

 

Lord God,
Hallow our children–set them apart to love You with all their
                                         hearts, souls, minds and strength.
Hallow our land–       set it apart to serve You in full obedience.
Hallow this time–       set it apart to fulfill Your eternal plan.
                                         In Your hallowed name we pray.

  1. Yes, I am in faithful prayer
    and here I will remain,
    but tell me, God, are You there?
    I cannot hear You for the pain.
    Is my prayer true-hallowed?
    Does it please Your heart?
    Or is it selfish, shallow,
    and have You set me apart?
    Will You not come hither?
    Do You hear my cry?
    Or am I bound to wither,
    and then, perforce, to die?
    There is naught that I can do
    but in extremis, call to You.
