From Heaven Touching Earth, a plea that we will never lose our ability to dream dreams as to what God can accomplish in our lives and that of the world.
I was sorry to wake up,
for it was a beautiful dream,
a vision of life as it could and should be –
touched by peace, joy and contentment,
obstacles overcome,
problems at an end –
and it was a wrench to return to reality,
to the cold light of day.
Help me to dream dreams, Lord,
not as a form of escapism
but in order to glimpse your purpose
and understand more of your transforming love;
to catch sight of all you are able to do
and all I can become;
to recognise that there is more to life
than my senses can grasp;
things too wonderful for me as yet to fathom.
Give me a vision of the future
and confidence that you will turn dream into reality.
Amen.
