I will deal with all your oppressors (Zephaniah 3:19; NRSV).
Yahweh, our great stronghold,
You will deal with all oppressors –
Please take away the traumas of our past,
And heal our minds.
Jesus, our Good Shepherd,
You will deal with all tormentors –
Please take away the wounds caused by our past,
And heal our hearts.
Spirit, our dear Helper,
You will deal with all abusers –
Please take away the fallout from our past,
And heal our souls.
Elohim, our Fortress,
You will deal with all dictators –
Please take away the thorns lodged in our flesh,
And give us peace.
I was given a thorn in my flesh (2 Corinthians 12:7; NLT).
I am leaving you with a gift – peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid (John 14:27; NLT).
