a prayer rooted in frustration

i'm sick of a christianity that requires some form of coolness

i'm sick of a christianity that changes itself to fit in with society

i'm sick of a christianity that has little cliques and best friends and favourites

i'm sick of a christianity that does everything for itself and nothing for others

i'm sick of a christianity that won't let anybody else in.

God, change us.

Move us away from our mediocre pharisee tendencies and towards

pure

holy

clear

love.

make us the biggest freaks on the planet. 

don't ever let us comfortably fit in.

give us a love that longs for equality.

let us never think of ourselves. 

let us put the needs of others before ourselves - minus the bitterness.

let us be the ones that see the gates of heaven open wide - that ALL may go in.
