Lord Jesus Christ – A Prayer

I posted this prayer a couple of days ago on the Light for the Journey Facebook page. Because of its popularity I thought I would post it here too so that all of you can enjoy it as well.

Lord Jesus Christ

We live in hope

That the brokenness of our souls

Is being transformed.

Greed into generosity,

Self-fulfillment into mutual care,

Hate into compassion,

Fear into love.

Lord Jesus Christ

We live in hope

That the distortion of relationships

Is being redeemed.

Oppression into freedom,

Exploitation into justice,

War into peace.

Lord Jesus Christ

We live in hope,

That the pollution of our planet

Is being restored.

Smog filled air made clean,

Denuded forests replanted,

Endangered species protected.

Lord Jesus Christ

We live in hope

All that is broken

All that is distorted

All that is polluted

will be made new.
