Thought for the week

May God bless you with discomfort At easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships So that you may live deep within your heart. May God bless you with anger… At injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people So that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace. May God bless you with tears… To shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger, and war So that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and To turn their pain into joy. And may God bless you with enough foolishness… To believe that you can make a difference in the world, So that you can do what others claim cannot be done To bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor. Amen. (The blessing given by Jim Wallis at the Interfaith Service for Justice for Children and the Poor, Washington National Cathedral, October 28^th 2005) Some may also find "Prayer for Today" at Sacred Space a useful way to pray.
