When "peace" just won't do...


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 to push back the horizons of our hopes,
and to push us into the future in strength, courage, hope and love.

No lah. When someone else says it better, just quote them lah! Good things are worth copying/quoting :) But good to keep it under a shroud of mystery just to confuse pple as to where it came from!
