"We pray for kids on city streets —
even when they rob us.
We pray for purity in teenagers —
even when they seduce each other.
We pray for children who could be learning —
even when they sit in class like zombies.
We pray for the goodness that is buried in young druggies —
even when they are hustling people.
We pray for them all in the name of the light
that shines in the darkness — because
we know that darkness cannot put it out.
We pray for them all in the name of the light
that lights everyone who comes into the world.
We pray for them all in the name of the light who
gives us the substance of things hoped for
and is the evidence of things not seen."
To Practice: Write a prayer that expresses your hope for a better world and also taps into the Source of Hope for you.
