Just a bit to Comfortable.

Disturb us, O Lord
when we are too well-pleased with ourselves
when our dreams have come true because we dreamed too little,
because we sailed too close to the shore.

Disturb us, O Lord
when with the abundance of things we possess,
we have lost our thirst for the water of life
when, having fallen in love with time,
we have ceased to dream of eternity
and in our efforts to build a new earth,
we have allowed our vision of Heaven to grow dim.
Stir us, O Lord
to dare more boldly, to venture into wider seas
where storms show Thy mastery,
where losing sight of land, we shall find the stars.
In the name of Him who pushed back the horizons of our hopes
and invited the brave to follow.
Amen

 

In one of our last group meeting times, we read this prayer as group. It really touched. Sometimes, I find myself in a place where I dream too little, happy with where I am, and sail too close to the shore. I feel this is the biggest problem with most Western Christians. We are way to comfortable and happy just being. I don't know why happens. I just wish that more Christians would be disturbed by more important things. I know that life gets into a routine, and we get comfortable, but very few Christian ever leave the shores now a days. This is my prayer not just for myself, but all Christians.
