PRAYER FOR
VISION
Based on Oswald Sanders
Acts 9:10
We need a
truer vision, Lord, a vision filled with Thee
To view this
desperate world again with eyes that want to see
A world of
people hurting so and hungry every day,
A world
that's humbly waiting just to hear what You might say.
I need a wider
vision, Lord, a vision filled with Thee.
To see that
lonely woman’s heartache down the street from me.
The teen we
know who’s is all mixed up, the child who's been abused;
The hopeless
in our parish. Lord, we so want to be used!
Give us a
brand new vision now, a vision filled with Thee
To see our
home community as Your fair eyes might see.
Help us to
use our grace and gifts in ways that you would choose,
To act with
love and kindness to all those with a different views.
A truer,
wider, vision, Lord. That's what we really need
To carry out
Your will for us in word and thought and deed.
Now, Jesus,
you are here with us, beside us in the pew.
Show us that
wider vision of just what we are to do.
