A Prayer to Change the World

My Father in Heaven, thank-you for ensuring from before time that I could know you, love you and enjoy you ...

may my heart for you be so much greater than my heart for me
may my hands burn my plowing equipment (1 Kings 19:21) that I will walk on water (Jn 6:16-24)
may I exchange my secure future for your unseen but guaranteed future that I may bear fruit
may the lure of lights be dulled by the clarity of solitude that I may know you more deeply (Jer 33:3)
may I know spiritual discernment and not earthly wisdom to walk your highways (Hebs 5:11-14)
may I become your fragrant incense to this rancid world
may my boundaries be extended and my labor not fall to flames
may I be filled with your divine horror at my sin and this world's
may earth become far-less homelike and heaven become far-more magnetic
may my spirit be weak before you and melt my heart with your love
may my heart break for what your heart breaks
may the weak of this world receive strength
may the humble of this world know promotion
may the abused of this world gain justice
may the bold of this world become meek
may the vulnerable of this world receive protection and
may the dead of this world find life eternal.

Please show me my part in this prayer Father, what you would have me do and test my heart against this prayer to know if I am true. AMEN

I wonder if we all as Christians prayed this prayer each day what type of spiritual leverage this would give within ourselves and within the world?
