Pretty simple request... give us your favorite prayer or one currently in your consciousness... or go find us one.
Here, I'll start;
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 have 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.
Attributed - Sir Francis Drake -1577
Have fallen in love with life
