Be obvious – not subtle.
Block my path – don’t let me miss you.
Speak out loud and not in whispers.
Let me clearly hear your voice so I won’t miss a word you say…
Grab me by my shoulder
and point me where you know I need to go…
Give me all the guts and grit I need
to take the step I need to take,
to do the next right thing
– and not look back in doubt and fear…
If I slow down, Lord, or fuss or stall
then give me a kick
and get me moving once again…
Make a difference in my day, Lord,
and help me make a difference
in the lives of those around me.
Amen.
