Back to Work

Lord--
Focus my heart. Turn my words of stone, my inflexible way of being, into a beautiful new way of being, so that I might be transformed by your Spirit and speak as one saved from his own sin. Turn my rigid life into a new dance of grace, one that reaches beyond my comfortable life into a new place and visions new ways of being your child. Turn my sinful thoughts into dreams about how I might be still and feel your presence near me. Turn my focus, my eyes and my vision, towards you, so that my dreams might stretch along your vision and imagine all that you are doing in this world. Give me the strength and wisdom to turn my life over into your loving, precious, and gracious hands.
Amen.
