Disturb Us, Lord...

Disturb us, Lord,


when we are too well pleased with ourselves;

when our dreams have come true because we dreamed too little;

when we arrive safely because we sailed too close to the shore.



Disturb us, Lord, when with the abundance of things we possess

we have lost our thirst for the Waters of Life;

having fallen in love with life, we have ceased to dream of eternity;

and in our efforts to build a new earth,

we have allowed our vision of the new heaven to dim.



Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly -

to venture on wider seas where storms will show your mastery;

where losing sight of land, we shall find the stars.

We ask you push back the horizons of our hopes,

and to push us in the future with strength, courage, hope and love.

The weather is doing a 'Mull of Kintyre' here, with the mist rollin' in thick and fast!


How about a bit of inspiration for the start of the week? It's an old post but I saw it on another blog and think its still plenty relevant to another year!
