A Prayer for Thursday, May 23, 2013

Miracles

O God,

It would be nice, I suppose, if you would perform miracles through me like you did through the Apostles in the New Testament; I would love it if you would use me to make the physically challenged whole.

I guess, though, that people would find a way to explain such events away; they would find some rational explanation for them. Besides, the results would be temporary.

So I ask instead that you perform miracles through me that are clearly irrational and completely unexplainable and have eternal effects. Cause me to love unconditionally, to forgive freely, to share generously, and to trust completely.

Work in me in ways that will give people no options but to give you the glory or to call me crazy—or both.

Amen.
