To Flourish

Lord of Wonder,

Enlarge my heart.

Deliver me from domesticated faith,

from skepticism that shrinks my soul,

from fear that locks the doors to Your presence.

Stretch my capacity for joy.

Expand my appetite for Your Spirit.

Make me bold to expect not just Your gifts,

but more of You.

Where I have settled for thimbles of glory,

give me oceans of grace.

Where I have sought miracles for myself, 

turn my gaze to Yours alone.

Surprise me into holy laughter.

Startle me into holy awe.

And awaken in me a holy expectancy

that welcomes Your wonders in the everyday.

Amen.
