Saw this prayer while visiting K-West. While it is technically written for women, I think that it applies to men as well. Let’s make this our daily prayer.
A Dangerous Woman’s Prayer
May we be dangerous women.
May we be women who acknowledge our power to change,
and grow, and be radically alive for God.
May we be healers of wounds and righters of wrongs.
May we weep with those who weep and speak for those who
cannot speak for themselves.
May we cherish children, embrance the elderly, and empower
the poor.
May we pray deeply and teach wisely.
May bee be wrong and gentle leaders.
May we sing songs of joy and talk down fear.
May we never hesitate to let passion push us, conviction
compel us, and righteous anger energize us.
May we strike fear into all that is unjust and evil in the
world.
May we dismantle abusive systems and silence lies with truth.
May we shine like stars in a darkened generation.
May we overflow with goodness in the name of God and by
the power of Jesus. And in that name, and by that power,
may we change the world.
