A Prayer

<idle musing>
Out of Ur has an interview with Brian McLaren. In it he mentions a wonderful prayer, which I had never seen before. It is entitled Prayer for your enemies. It starts like this:

Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not curse them. Enemies have driven me into your embrace more than friends have. Friends have bound me to earth; enemies have loosed me from earth and have demolished all my aspirations in the world.

Enemies have made me a stranger in worldly realms and an extraneous inhabitant of the world.

As one of my theology professors used to say, “You owe it to yourself to read this.”
