A Simple Prayer

I don't have much to say today. This has really been a blessed season and I'm enjoying it to the fullest. My heart is sincerely overflowing with thankfullness... and then some :). Yay God!!

The word that keeps coming to mind is surrender; which is what this pic says for me;



Today I came across this prayer, called "The Franciscan Benediction", and I wanted to share it, I'm definitely praying it over me, but with as all good things I cannot keep it to myself, so here it goes:

May God bless you with discomfort
At easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships,
So that you may live deep within your heart.

May God bless you with anger
At injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people,
So that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace.

May God bless you with tears
To shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger, and war,
So that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain to joy.

And may God bless you with enough foolishness

To believe that you can make a difference in the world,
So that you can do what others claim cannot be done,
To bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor.

Yeah!
