o God
i pray for conviction
to stand when it is easier to sit
to march when it is easier to watch
to give when it is easier to withhold
to create when it is easier to consume
to think when it is easier to react
to love when it is easier to hate
grant me the bravery and courage of those who have gone before me
to stand, to march, to give, to create, to think, and to love
when it is easier to be comfortable
David Allen, Jr.
