Prayer of Anticipation

When Power Is Under Negotiation
(Luke 3:1-6)

In the fifteenth year
During the reign
When he was governor
And he was ruler of that region

And he was in charge of that place
During the priesthood
Under the leadership
The Word of the Lord came
The word of God always comes in the year
During the reign
Under the leadership
During the priesthood
When that one ruled there
And this one was in charge here
It always comes in particular places,
When power is under negotiation –
When we don’t know whether to trust
The people with power, or the power itself
In the fifteenth or twelfth or second year or month or season
Repentance is the order of the day, and we all need to repent
Because the word of the Lord comes to call us to repentance,
To make the crooked straight
The mountains low
The valleys high
And all of us look
For God’s salvation
In the fifteenth year
The second month
The third day
This very moment
