Sacredise - Prayer: Mustard Seed Faith

Mustard Seed Faith

by John van de Laar

When injustice looms large,
   remind us that small, daily Gospel obediences
       reveal the infinite wideness of God’s mercy,
   and strengthen all whose lives of daily justice
bring grace into the world;

When justice delays, and nothing seems to change,
   remind us that faith and perseverance
       manifest God’s unchanging love,
   and inspire all whose long term faithfulness
slowly, but inexorably heals the world;

When the call of Your Reign is difficult and daunting
   remind us that life is found
       in giving ourselves for You and for others,
   and sustain all whose constant sacrifices
       bring joy and goodness to the world;

O God, though our faith is mustard-seed-small,
       we offer it to you,
   that we may daily play our little part
       in your saving, transforming purposes.

Amen.
