Stretch My Heart

O GOD,

Enlarge my heart
that it may be big enough
to receive the greatness of your love.

Stretch my heart
that it may take into it
all those who with me around the world
believe in Jesus Christ.

Stretch it that it may take into it all those
who do not know him,
but who are my responsibility
because I know him.

Stretch it that it may take into it
all those who are not lovely in my eyes,
and whose hands I do not want to touch,
through Jesus Christ, my Savior.

AMEN

(a prayer of Kapinga Esete, from the Daily Prayer blog)
