Faith, Hope and Love

Spirit of God, be wild and free in me.
Batter my proud and stubborn will,
blow me where you choose,
break me down if you must,
refashion me as you will.

Move me powerfully away from the games i play
in order to try and tame you.

Lead me into the wild places
the places of dream or scream,
the long dark tunnels
or the wide, sunny vistas -
to speak to lions
to move mountains
to bear tragedy
to mirror you.

HELP ME TO RUN STRAIGHT
TO GO ALL OUT,
AND TO GIVE MY BEST.

(from 'Celtic Prayers for Life Today' - Ray Simpson. p.102)
