Prayer For Joanna

Father of Lights

I lift Joanna before you

Bless Joanna, fair, Lord,

Hold her and keep her

Touch those secret hurting places

Soothe her brow with your fingers

Cradle her in your mighty Father's arms

Give her songs in the night

When she holds her guitar

Whisper your David breath

And remind her Lord

Keep her hope alive, her true woman's heart

One day where she holds her instrument

She will cradle the fruit of her womb

On her knees, in her arms, at her feet

Hold her in her Hannah moments

Lift her into her Deborah days

Give her the thoughts of Sarah

May she worship like Anna

May she sit and listen like Mary

Bless her, Lord, bless and heal

Kiss her with soft summer breezes

Your child, your glory, your creation

Send friends to touch her

Call your intercessors from the four corners

To fill your bowls with petitions for Joanna

Finish her faith, fire the kiln

Tell her who she is, Lord

That all creation groans for her to reveal her

That galaxies are born to demonstrate it

That you chose her for such a time as this

Jesus' sister, your precious daughter

A gift to us

A treasure of inestimable worth

Created to reveal your glory

A true daughter of Zion in the last days
