Teach us hope.
Sing over us Your heart,
and let Your love to us become life through us,
that we live our lives on fire.
Hold us like a mother,
guard us like a lion,
be jealous for us like a lover,
let Your love control us.
(a prayer by Rodney Ridley, one of my youngest students at the Greater Philadelphia Christian Writers Conference, August 1, 2013; used with permission. Photo, "In the Beginning" by artist Makoto Fujimura, taken at Cairn University the day Rodney Ridley wrote the prayer above)
