not done yet

LORD, i believe that you have not given up on UCSD. i believe that you love UCSD more than i do. i believe that every bit of darkness, brokenness, and sin are under your dominion. Jesus, i believe you have the power to send revival and an outpouring of your Spirit without effort. i believe that you don't even need to make an effort to set every soul free and open the eyes of every heart to your beauty and your love. i know that you can easily have, at this very moment, every knee bow and every tongue at UCSD confess you as LORD. i know that because you said it will happen at the end of the age. but that time has not come yet.
in your love for man and your desire to honor free will, you wait patiently until more at UCSD will recognize their lack and depravity without You and turn to you.

Jesus, you said blessed are those who aren't offended in you (matt 11:6) i will not be offended by your leadership. i will not be offended by the ways you have yet to answer our prayers. i'm trusting your perfect wisdom and perfect sovereignty. your timing is perfect. your leadership is perfect. you love UCSD.

until then, let us not stop crying out. give us justice. will you not give justice to those who cry out to you day and night? will you delay long over them? You said that you will give us justice speedily. (luke 18:8) we hold you true to your word. Jesus, send justice to UCSD.

God, send revival to UCSD.

rise up, O God, and defend your cause

¹ O God, why have you rejected us forever?
Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
² Remember the nation you purchased long ago,
the people of your inheritance, whom you redeemed—
Mount Zion, where you dwelt.
³ Turn your steps toward these everlasting ruins,
all this destruction the enemy has brought on the sanctuary.

⁴ Your foes roared in the place where you met with us;
they set up their standards as signs.
⁵ They behaved like men wielding axes
to cut through a thicket of trees.
⁶ They smashed all the carved paneling
with their axes and hatchets.
⁷ They burned your sanctuary to the ground;
they defiled the dwelling place of your Name.
⁸ They said in their hearts, “We will crush them completely!”
They burned every place where God was worshiped in the land.

⁹ We are given no signs from God;
no prophets are left,
and none of us knows how long this will be.
¹⁰ How long will the enemy mock you, God?
Will the foe revile your name forever?
¹¹ Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand?
Take it from the folds of your garment and destroy them!

¹² But God is my King from long ago;
he brings salvation on the earth.

¹³ It was you who split open the sea by your power;
you broke the heads of the monster in the waters.
¹⁴ It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan
and gave it as food to the creatures of the desert.
¹⁵ It was you who opened up springs and streams;
you dried up the ever-flowing rivers.
¹⁶ The day is yours, and yours also the night;
you established the sun and moon.
¹⁷ It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth;
you made both summer and winter.

¹⁸ Remember how the enemy has mocked you, LORD,
how foolish people have reviled your name.
¹⁹ Do not hand over the life of your dove to wild beasts;
do not forget the lives of your afflicted people forever.
²⁰ Have regard for your covenant,
because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.
²¹ Do not let the oppressed retreat in disgrace;
may the poor and needy praise your name.
²² Rise up, O God, and defend your cause;
remember how fools mock you all day long.
²³ Do not ignore the clamor of your adversaries,
the uproar of your enemies, which rises continually.

keep waiting, UCSD

² The nations will see your vindication,
and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name
that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.
³ You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD’s hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
⁴ No longer will they call you Deserted,
or name your land Desolate.
But you will be called Hephzibah,
and your land Beulah;
for the LORD will take delight in you,
and your land will be married.
⁵ As a young man marries a young woman,
so will your Builder marry you;
as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
so will your God rejoice over you.


waiting for the rain

we give ourselves no rest

1Awake, awake,
put on your strength, O Zion;
put on your beautiful garments,
O Jerusalem, the holy city;
for there shall no more come into you
the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2Shake yourself from the dust and arise;
be seated, O Jerusalem;
loose the bonds from your neck,
O captive daughter of Zion.
isaiah 52:1-2

arise, intervaristy
arise, UCSD
come LORD Jesus, come

"Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. ²⁵For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."
matthew 16:24-25

God i'm asking for you to raise up ones at UCSD who will follow you at whatever the cost. would you raise up men and women at UCSD who will follow you in wholehearted abandonment, that they would not put themselves or their own comfort before you, God. God would you raise up ones who are empowered with boldness, ones that would preach your word and share your love free from the fear of man. would you raise up ones who would take a stand for you, unafraid to proclaim your name boldly on this campus.

God would you raise up ones at UCSD who are willing to lose it all to have you.

¹²"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. ¹³Greater love has no one than this,that someone lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴You are my friends if you do what I command you. ¹⁵No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. ¹⁶You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. ¹⁷These things I command you, so that you will love one another.
john 15:12-17

God, would you teach us what love is. would we be reminded that your command for us is to love others just as you have love us. teach us what love is, God. thank you for sending your son Jesus to be the perfect example of love. let us be stewards of Jesus, as we study how He loved those around Him. let us learn how to love with a love that is bold, direct, and filled with truth, yet tender and gentle.

teach me, oh LORD, how to love.

¹Hear a just cause, O LORD; attend to my cry!
Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!
²From your presence let my vindication come!
Let your eyes behold the right!

³You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night,
you have tested me, and you will find nothing;
I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.
⁴With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips
I have avoided the ways of the violent.
⁵My steps have held fast to your paths;
my feet have not slipped.

⁶I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;
incline your ear to me; hear my words.
⁷Wondrously show your steadfast love,
O Savior of those who seek refuge
from their adversaries at your right hand.

⁸Keep me as the apple of your eye;
hide me in the shadow of your wings,
⁹from the wicked who do me violence,
my deadly enemies who surround me.
