Ep. 49 - Living in a Foreign Land

A liturgy for living in a foreign land.

Father, help me to walk humbly with You.

Help me to be curious instead of critical.

Help me not to compare, but to appreciate the differences before me.

Help me to look beyond the surface and to see others through Your eyes.

Father, open my eyes to the beauty of where You’ve placed me.

Open my eyes to see how this culture reflects parts of Your character.

Open my eyes to see those who are vulnerable, on the outside, and might even feel like a

stranger in their own land.

Open my eyes to see the opportunities You’ve placed before me to love those who are different

from me.

Father, keep me near to You.

Keep my hands open, holding expectations loosely.

Keep my heart humble, willing to yield control of the situation.

Keep my mind fixed on You, not on myself.

Father, guide me in how I spend my time.

Guide me in how I choose to use my words.

Guide me in being willing to be uncomfortable.

Guide me in learning how to live in a foreign land.

And Father, remind me that no matter where I am, I am a pilgrim

Longing for my true and lasting home with You.

Amen
