LORD we are so full of vision. the problem is our vision is most easily seen with eyes closed, because when our eyes are opened the things we see make the vision blur and fade. we have wonderful conversations and idealistic ideas but they never come to pass. LORD you search me and know me, if there is any falseness in me purge it from me. tear down anything i build that is not from a pure heart. but you must know LORD my earnest desire for renewal and restoration of your people, of my sisters. i know you want so much more for us than what we have seen, but how LORD? how do we step beyond the complacency that poisons every day? how do we step through the fear that binds the hands that would reach out to each other?
