Prayer: Courage to See

Here’s a prayer of commitment from the Monthly Prayers page of the Christian Aid website.

Prayer for Courage

Lord Jesus, 
When I would shut my eyes – 
because I am afraid to see, 
when I would hold on tightly – 
because I am afraid to share, 
when I would close my doors – 
because I am afraid to get involved, 
may I find courage 
in the company of your people, 
learning with them to open my eyes, 
my hands, 
my home 
and my heart. 
Amen.
