the disturbers disturning God to disturb them once more

here's a nice prayer that i got from Sunday for Skeptics


Disturb us, Lord
Disturb us, Lord,When we are too well pleased with ourselves,

When our dreams have come true
Because we have dreamed too little,
When we arrived safely
Because we sailed too close to the shore.
Disturb us, Lord,

When with the abundance of things we possess
We have lost our thirst
For the waters of life;
Or having fallen in love with life,
We have ceased to dream of eternity
Or in our efforts to build a new earth,
We have allowed our vision
Of the new Heaven to dim.
Disturb us, Lord,

To dare more boldly,
To venture on wider seas
Where storms will show us your mastery;
Where losing sight of land,
We shall find the stars.
We ask You to push back

The horizons of our hopes;
And to push into the future with us
In strength, courage, hope, and love.
Amen.
