LORD HAVE MERCY ON US

I am grieved by the state of the nations.
I am grieved by the state of my nation,
America.

I am grieved by the nature of man.
I am grieved by the deceitfulness of my own
heart.

LORD HAVE MERCY ON US.

We continue to do what we ought not to do.

We persist in the way of destruction.
We do not know the way of love, nor do we desire to become love.
We are influenced by hostility rather than Christ’s humility.

LORD TEACH US THE WAY OF MERCY.

Make us ministers of reconciliation
in cities and in nations.

THANK YOU.

Thank you that you invite me deeper into you.

Thank you that Mercy is not just what you do.

Thank you Lord for your patience with me.

Thank you for taking care of the needs I don’t see.

Thank you that you don’t let me have my way.

Thank you that you are God and I am simply clay.

Thank you that even when I was a sinner you died for me.

Thank you Jesus for your love that makes me free.

-A.G. Ayuen

A Psalm of David.

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
²He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
³He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

⁴Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

⁵You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
⁶Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.

Can’t Kill Me With Your Eyes

You can’t kill me with your eyes,
or intimidate me with your lies.

I have placed a shield over my heart;
your words no longer tear me apart.

I won’t be fooled by your manipulation,
because I stand tall, unbothered by your intimidation.

I used to fear you, but now I see you, masquerade behind your misery.

Your taunting isn’t victory.

You can’t kill me with your eyes.
I look past them and behold,

He who is in me is greater
than he who is in the world.

Overcomer Overcoming

I have overcome,

I am overcoming,

I will overcome.

I am an overcomer who is overcoming.

Sudan

Sudan

I love you.

I love your dry heat,

I love your desert plains,

Your rich swamplands,

the diversity you hold, greatly expands.

I pray for your NORTH as a girl from your SOUTH.

I love both of your flags and all of your people.

I still see you united even with your separation.

I am grieved by your history, as I pray for your future.

I love the Nile that flows through you, but I pray that Yeshua would be in you.

From Khartoum – الخرطوم , Kassala – كسّا ,

Port Sudan – بورتسودان , Omdurman – أم د ,

Juba – جوبا Bor – بور

Wau – واو & Darfur – دار

May Jesus redeem you,

Land of Cush. Brother of Egypt. Son of Ham.

The African Giant of the East,

Cush-Sudan.

LORD TEACH US

Lord teach us how to surrender and follow you even when it’s hard…even when it hurts.

Teach us how to see pain through the lens of Calvary and not through our own humanity.

Teach us Lord to trust in what your word says in Romans 8:28.

That our trials, our present sufferings are not worth comparing to the glory that will be revealed in us through Christ Jesus.

Help us not only see and desire you as Jehovah Jireh, but also as the Man of Sorrows, and the Son of Suffering.

Jesus help us not to be so overwhelmed by our pain that we forget your presence.

Move us to overcome in faith, knowing that after crucifixion, there is always resurrection.

“The cross is rough, and it is deadly, but it is effective. It does not keep its victim hanging there forever. There comes a moment when its work is finished and the suffering victim dies. After that is resurrection glory and power, and the pain is forgotten for joy that the veil is taken away and we have entered in actual spiritual experience the presence of the living God.” — A.W. Tozer

I’m living in answered prayers.

Prayers that I spoke wholeheartedly,
prayers I sang out loud,
some I wrote on lined paper pages,
from a place of zeal and genuine surrender.

Passionate, youthful prayers of consecration written from a place of adoration.

Prayers of praise,
Prayers of lament,
Prayers of supplication,

begging God to refine me, consume me,
to kill whatever was left of me.

He has been faithful in the fire,
making Himself my only desire.

The presence of joy, peace, and hope
has multiplied even more than when I first said yes to Jesus,

but so has the resistance and the trials.

I’m living in prayer.

Vessels of Honor ✨

God is looking for vessels emptied of themselves.

Vessels of Honor that will be instruments of righteousness.

Vessels that don’t carry excuses of why they can’t be used or why they can’t obey what it is He is asking them to do.

He is looking for vessels that will carry the message of The Gospel.

Those that boast in their weaknesses with a Spirit of meekness.

Those that understand that their inabilities make room for His ability.

He is looking for broken vessels with cracks that will illuminate His light.

And He doesn’t exclude vessels that have been used or abused because His love judges not by sight.

Hope In The Son of Man

“He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”

—Isaiah 53:3-5 NIV

I see the blood that is being drained from your veins

I feel the burdens of the oppressed

I see the plunging/ exploitation of your land

I hear your cries of injustice

from bloodshed & colonial dread

CONGO

I plead a greater blood

upon your people

and upon your land

I plead the blood of Jesus

That speaks a better word…

It speaks redemption

It speaks forgiveness

It speaks justice

It speaks peace

It speaks salvation

of your people

of your land

of you

CONGO.

Scars of Scars

Scars of pain,
Scars of suffering,
Scars that mark the hands I was formed in.

Scars of evidence,
Scars of assurance,

Scars from nails that were forced in.

Scars that marked your sacrifice,
From wounds inflicted in the night.

Scars of a Carpenter,

Scars of a King,

Scars of a Savior,

that crushed my sin.

Scars that speak of love and grace,
Scars that bring hope to human race.

-A.G. Ayuen

The Refiners Fire

LORD refine me with your lovely flame.

Mark me with your majestic name.

Burn me holy into purity.

Holy Ghost fire inside of me.

Sanctify this temple so all may see.

The person of Christ hidden in me.

-A.G. Ayuen

Cloud In the Wilderness

I found myself back on the floor again.

Wrestling a cloud that swept over me.

This one, cumulus…

Big and Grey.

With arms that boldly void out the day.

Cumulus swollen with liquid death,

prepared to blow it’s liquid breath.

But I ran….

I hid….

under the Son.

concealed myself with The Piercing one.

The one with warm arms of ray.

Radiant and lovely more than day.

He pushes away clouds filled with heaviness,

And places the oil of joy and gladness.

-A.G. Ayuen

Abba’s Beloved

He calls me beloved,

The apple of His eye.

I don’t belong to the other,

who tries to fill me with his lies.

I am fearfully made, wonderfully done.

Was birthed into this world,

but accepted in His Son.

-A.G. Ayuen

Emptiness

There is someone that takes emptiness away.

Someone who fills the void of empty places– and brightens up dark unwanted spaces.

JESUS.

the beginning,

the middle,

the end.

eliminator of emptiness,

our defender,

and friend.

-A.G. Ayuen

Abide

LORD,

as I let go of my pride

teach me to abide.

In the shadow of the Almighty

pin me by your side.

Produce the fruit of your Spirit

so all may see.

that the seed of your word

is planted within me.

-A.G. Ayuen
