Lord God,
You give me the gift of freedom,
guiding me to a life of joy,
calling me to be my truest self.
As you freed Lazarus from the
burial clothes, and gave sight to
the blind, and called the rich
man to detachment, free me
from the unfreedoms that pile
up, which blockade me from the
life-giving joy you have for me.
Remove those things which
hinder my life with you.
I can freely choose this.
And I do.
guiding me to a life of joy,
calling me to be my truest self.
As you freed Lazarus from the
burial clothes, and gave sight to
the blind, and called the rich
man to detachment, free me
from the unfreedoms that pile
up, which blockade me from the
life-giving joy you have for me.
Remove those things which
hinder my life with you.
I can freely choose this.
And I do.
Amen.
