A Prayer for God's Wisdom

Lord,

Our gaze is inward,

Your vision outward.

Our regrets and fears look backward,

Your call beckons us forward.

Our "world" centers around ourselves,

Your grace is as endless as the ocean.

Our giving is in measured spoonfuls,

Your grace sweeps over us like a tidal wave.

Forgive us for holding back,

clinging to our pride and possessions for dear life.

Help us to release ourselves,

all that we are,

all that we have,

to Your grace and power.

Then let us see the miracles You will do.

In your Son's name. Amen.

--Rev. Dr. John G. Hamilton
