The following is a prayer that was shared with us during a devotion this week. I love prayer that sounds like poetry, so I wanted to share.
May God bless you with discomfort...
at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger...
at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.
May God bless you with tears...
to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy.
May God bless you with enough foolishness...
to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others cannot be done.
Amen.
