Prayer for a Lost One (circa 2013)

What are you doing, Father?
Just calling this restless one
To your Only Son

Turning this rule tester
Into a righteous law keeper
Lavishing love on one who walks as an enemy!

Father, saturate this lost one
in your light, take away everything until she sees your might!

Your mighty love,
your surpassing peace,
your unceasingly compassion, your loving that won't cease.

She tries to disobey,
in order to drive your love away,
but oh no,
You won't go.

She tries to be satisfied,
by feeding all her sinful desires,
but oh no,
they won't abate.

Drive her to the end of self,
then open her eyes to your wealth!

Amen, in Jesus Name, save ________!!! Bring HOPE AND FAITH where there is discouraging news, there is only good news in heaven! How are you going to use this, Father?? Let us be expectant to see Jesus work. Give mentors joy and wisdom.  Amen.

Context: A friend shared a heart-wrenching story about her "mentee"- she meets with a young lady each week, and sometimes it is frustrating and hard. This poem and prayer was a response to her story.
