Prayer of the Day: Courage to be revolutionary

God, give me the courage to be revolutionary as your Son Jesus Christ was. Give me the courage to loosen myself from this world. Teach me to stand up free and to shun no criticism. God, it is for your kingdom. Make me free, make me poor in this world; then will I be rich in the real world, which this life is all about. God, thank you for the vision of the future, but make it fact and not just theory. Amen.

A prayer of Henri Nouwen, from With Open Hands.
