Lord,
wake me
rouse me
nudge me
prod me
shove me
pinch me
bump me
turn me
push me
kick me
shoulder, press and jostle me…
out of
my sleep
my slump
my funk
my rut
my lows
my blues
my blahs
my sulk
my gloom
my mood
my fears and my self-pity…
that I might
wake
revive
stir
rise
rally
move
stand
act
speak
join in
touch, receive and share
your peace
with all I know and meet,
not tomorrow but today, Lord,
not tomorrow, but today…
Amen.
