Devastation and Redemption

Devastation and Redemption is a prayer of worship. I hope this prayer-poem inspires you today.

Today’s post is the eighth one in the #write28days challenge, in which I’m participating during the month of February 2022. Today’s prompt is “Devastation,” and here is my prayer/poem.

Devastation and Redemption

 

Dearest Jesus

I worship you today

for the devastation

you endured

for me.

Betrayal and abandonment

from friends

Rejection and cruelty

from your own people

Ignorance and apathy

from the rulers

Brutality and ridicule

from the soldiers

then worst of all

separation

from your Father.

 

Yet this devastation

produced redemption

for me.

Just as the blood

of the lambs

provided atonement

for the people’s sins

so your innocent blood

covered all my sins

and paid the price

to buy me back

from my slavery

to unrighteousness.

And it secured

my favored place

in your presence

forever.

 

Remind me

of these deep truths

in my own seasons

of devastation now.

May I trust

the brokenness

is not in vain

but producing

a beautiful redemption story

only you can write.

May I know

you will never leave me

nor forsake me

when I feel devastated

by my pain.

May I believe

you are securing

a better plan

for me

not only in heaven

but in the days ahead

when hope becomes

a living reality.
