Flow

I don't want my life, Lord, to be a meandering stream,

its course altered by every stone

and diverted by each depression,

following the path of least resistance.

I want it to be a direct, undiverted flow

through the wide, inviting gates

that lead to your will in Jesus Christ. Amen.

(from the Sept. 25 reading in Eugene Peterson's Praying With The Psalms).
