An activist’s prayer

With thanks to the Rev. McAllister, the following:

Thicken my love.
Widen my heart.
Sharpen my analysis.
Enliven my praxis.
Embolden my voice.
Deepen my rest.
Lighten my heaviness.
Toughen my skin.
Soften my spirit.
Strengthen my friendships.
Lengthen my endurance.
Weaken my ego.
Awaken my soul.
Refreshen my vision.
Hearken to my weary voice, O God,
as we are co-conspirators
in the struggle for a new world.
Amen

— Terrance Hawkins
