God, make a fresh start in me,
shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life.
Lord,
Your will is not for me to see and judge,
but to see and love…
with eyes of grace;
Because Love transforms,
not judgement.
Help me to see clearly with and through
eyes of grace, and faith
instead of the frail eyes
that rely on human ingenuity-
the futile strength
dependent on the limited vision
and intellect of man.
Lord, open my eyes once more,
to hope and grace and truth.
Where I am critical,
show me your wounded hands.
Where I am judgemental,
show me your broken body.
Where I am hopeless,
Show me your poured out blood…
the blood that takes away the stain of the world.
For I am naked,
thirsty and poor,
but you alone will
clean and clothe me,
quench my thirst,
make me rich.
You alone,
forgive.
For I am redeemed
and this is
The Revelation.
