Refresh My Spirit, Lord
Sometimes our bodies get tired and need rest.

For Our Nation
War, politics, lies, betrayal, the murdering of innocents, our young men and women in uniform dying on a battle field via men of power; takeovers of nations, sin abounding, the church asleep or complacent for the most part; the gospel diluted, and do we even notice?
