God you are my safe place.
Protect me from this world of greed
Or it will consume all of me
And destroy my soul.
God if I have taken part
in this system of oppression;
If I have valued people solely for what they do
and forgotten to look for who the are.
Then let me experience the suffering I am due
For my complacency;
For my refusal to speak out.
Let me know you anger, Lord,
Fill my heart with a burning passion
So that I am no longer complacent
So that I can work towards
a world full of your love.
Take what is good in me
and use it for your purpose.
Break down these systems of inequity
Bring balance to the world.
Open the hearts of the few
who are hoarding the resources that could serve many.
And inspire us all to look for a path
that leads to enough for all.
I give you thanks for all that you have given us
and pray that one day we will learn to work together
and not against one another!
