Surrounded on every side, surrounded by bees,
by a fire of thorns,
only you can help us.
Give us a double
share of your Spirit;
give us someone who
is not only your servant
but a steward of your
mysteries;
give us the One who
came
to fulfill the law
and the prophets.

Selected Verses
Ps. 118:11-12
They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;
in the name of the LORD I cut them off!
They surrounded me like bees;
they blazed like a fire of thorns;
in the name of the LORD I cut them off!
in the name of the LORD I cut them off!
They surrounded me like bees;
they blazed like a fire of thorns;
in the name of the LORD I cut them off!
2 Kings 2:9
When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me what
I may do for you, before I am taken from you.” Elisha said, “Please let me
inherit a double share of your spirit.”
1 Cor. 4:1
Think of us in this way, as servants of Christ and stewards
of God’s mysteries.
Matt. 5:17
"…Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or
the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. …"
[Jesus, sitting on the mountain, to the crowds]
