Lent 2021: A Story to Live By

DAY 18 OF 47

Open unto me

Prayer:

'There must be always remaining in every life, some place for the singing of angels, some place for that which in itself is breathless and beautiful.' Howard Thurman.

Lord, Lord, open Unto Me

Open unto me, light for my darkness

Open unto me, courage for my fear

Open unto me, hope for my despair

Open unto me, peace for my turmoil

Open unto me, joy for my sorrow

Open unto me, strength for my weakness

Open unto me, wisdom for my confusion

Open unto me, forgiveness for my sins

Open unto me, tenderness for my toughness

Open unto me, love for my hates

Open unto me, Thy Self for myself

Lord, Lord, open unto me!

Author: Howard Thurman, from ‘Meditations of the Heart’

Howard (1899 – 1981) was a writer who influenced Martin Luther King Jr and others.
