At any rate, I like the sentiments expressed in this prayer because it asks that we not be complacent or stay within our comfort zone as we live our lives. I especially like the part about discomfort at easy answers, half truths and superficial relationships. How much different would our lives be, how much more meaningful if we didn't settle for easy answers, half truths and superficial relationships?
I wish for you discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superifical relationships so that you will live deep in your heart. May you be blessed with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation so that you will work for justice, equity, and peace. May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer so that you will reach out your hands to comfort them and change their pain into joy. And may you have the foolishness to think that you can make a difference in the world, so that you will do the things others tell you cannot be done.
