"prayer does not change God...

but the one who prays..."

Jesus,

transform me.

enlarge my vision.

plant the roots of love

and utter compassion and forgiveness 

deep within the innermost, winding halls

of my soul. quiet me.

soften my judgement.

and may i run to you.

and never stop burying

my face into the soft folds

of your favor .

running the Race.

fighting the wars of division

and contradiction. warriors

for salvation's cause; for the

music of Redemption.

that souls may be set free.

amen. amen.

that souls may be

set free.

as we pray for you,

and you for us....

let freedom ring.
