Receiving God's Lament And Releasing Our Outrage: A Prayer By J.D. Walt

 

THE PRAYER OF TRANSFORMATION

Lord Jesus, I want to be your witness, a real Christian. To that end, 

I receive your righteousness and release my sinfulness.
I receive your lament and release my outrage.
I receive your faith and release my fear.
I receive your hope and release my optimism and pessimism.
I receive your love and release my self-interestedness. 

Come, Holy Spirit, transform my heart, mind, soul, and strength so that my consecration becomes your demonstration; that our lives become your sanctuary. For the glory of God our Father, amen.
