This is a great prayer for the mornings.
May God bless us with discomfortAt easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationshipsSo that we may live from deep within our hearts.
May God bless us with angerAt injustice, oppression, and exploitation of God's creationsSo that we may work for justice, freedom, and peace.
May God bless us with tearsTo shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger, and war,So that we may reach out our hands to comfort them andTo turn their pain into joy.
And may God bless us with just enough foolishnessTo believe that we can make a difference in the world,So that we can do what others claim cannot be done:To bring justice and kindness to all our children and all our neighbors who are poor.Amen.
