Disturb Us, Lord

Disturb us, Lord, when We are too well pleased with ourselves, When our dreams have come true Because we have dreamed too little, When we arrived 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 to push back The horizons of our hopes; And to push into the future In strength, courage, hope, and love.

AMEN

This prayer was shared with us in session the other day, and it's been on my heart since hearing it. I wanted to share it alongside the "Wake Up and Dream" blog post. I hope that as you are diving deeper into your dreams, this prayer can be an eye-opener, inspiration, and encouragement to you.
