“God give us
men...ribbed with the steel
of Your Holy Spirit...men who will not flinch
when the battle's fiercest...men who won't
acquiesce, or compromise, or fade when the
enemy rages.
“God give us men who can't be bought, bartered,
or badgered by the enemy, men who will pay
the price, make the sacrifice, stand the
ground, and hold the torch high.
“God give us men obsessed with the principles
true to your word, men stripped of self-seeking
and a yen for security...men who will pay
any price for freedom and go any lengths
for truth.
“God give us men delivered from mediocrity,
men with vision high, pride low, faith wide,
love deep, and patience long...men who will
dare to march to the drumbeat of a distant
drummer, men who will not surrender principles
of truth in order to accommodate their peers.
“God give us men more interested in scars
than medals, more committed to conviction
than convenience, men who will give their
life for the eternal, instead of indulging
their lives for a moment in time. Give us
men who are fearless in the face of danger,
calm in the midst of pressure, bold in the
midst of opposition.
“God give us men who will pray earnestly,
work long, preach clearly, and wait patiently.
Give us men whose walk is by faith, behavior
is by principle, whose dreams are in heaven,
and whose book is the bible.
“God give us men who are equal to the task.
Those are the men the church and the world
needs today. |
