Prayer of the Visionary

July 13, 2010- I really want to share something I saw on a post earlier. Is vision something you think about and follow? Is it a struggle? If so, please read this
beautiful prayer from Richard Rohr:

O loving God, we thank you for bringing us the rivers and streams of this world. May the rivers we know be an image of the stream that you want to flow within each one of us.

Teach us now, take away all fear, dare to let us believe that we could really be a small part of a reconstructed society, that we could build again. Take away our own cynicism. Take away our lack of hope. Take away our own anger and judgments.

We thank you for the faith and the desire that is in our hearts. You have planted it there. Now help us to preserve it, protect it and increase it.

We long for vision, good God. We need vision and we know we will perish without it. Help us open each new day to a new meaning, to a new hope, to a deeper desiring.

Show us your face, loving God, and we will be satisfied. We ask for this in all the holy names of God. Amen.

It is so good to see that you are posting again - my Grandmother said it best "Oh yea of little faith" - I pray that I always have the faith and believe in the same visions that you do. You are such an amazing example of what a Christian Man is - I love you so and I am so proud of you and very happy for what God is doing and what he will continue to do in your life and Meg's. Dakota is sucha lucky young man. Love you, MOM
