May God bless you with discomfort
At easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships
So that you may live from deep within your hearts.
May God bless you with anger
At injustice, oppression, and exploitation of God's creations
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 hands to comfort them
To turn their pain into joy.
And may God bless you with just enough foolishness
To believe that you can make a difference in the world.
So that you can do what others claim cannot be done:
Cry the transforming Gospel of Jesus with your life to the ends of the earth.
Amen.
