Disturb Us, O Lord

Hey everyone! There's so much to write, but we're busy here and we know that you're very busy back at home. So this time we'll go for quality over quantity and since this will be short you'll have a few more days to read through Brendan's blog about our four-city trip this past weekend. But before I forget, here’s a prayer we went over recently that is very thought provoking. I hope it challenges you as it has me.

Disturb Us, O Lord

Disturb us, O Lord,
When we are too well pleased with ourselves;
When our dreams have come true
Because we sailed too close to the shore.

Disturb us, O Lord,
When with the abundance of things we possess,
We have lost our thirst for the water of Life;
When, having falling in love with the present time,
We have ceased to dream of Eternity;
And in our efforts to build a new earth;
We have allowed our vision of Heaven to grow dim.

Disturb us, O Lord,
To dare more boldly,
To venture more seas,
Where storms shall show your mastery,
Where losing sight of land we find more stars.

In the name of Him who pushed back the horizons of our hopes and
Invited the brave to follow Him. Amen.
