28 Day Prayer Journey To Passion 07 - Day 21

Day 21. The Day Before Jesus.

Waiting.
Clinging to distant hope.
Looking heavenward.
Are the promises true?
Religion’s not enough.
So weary of all the sacrifice.
Time after time.
Year after year.

We’ve heard of a coming Savior.
Can it be?
A God-sent one.
For us.
Here?

Darkness growing.
Joy fading.
Wandering.
Aimless.
Time wasting.
Purposeless.
Questions.
Hunger.
Forgetting.
Stumbling.
Lost.

Heavy weight.
So tired.
Little chance.
Is there something more?
Will He ever come?
What are we supposed to do?

400 years without a word.
Nothing.
Zip.
No prophet.
No message.
Not one syllable.
Silence.
Are we finished?
Forgotten?
Doomed?

Shepherd less.
Doing our best.
Life goes on.
Bustling.
Busy.
Trying.
Taxing.
So crowded tonight.
No vacancy.

Oh, you’re expecting?
So sorry.
We’re slammed.
No room for you.
A cave will have to do.
