Peace

Let Your perfect peace rage into my life like an army; invading my soul and overturning the money-tables and cages I have set up on the altar of my heart.

Let Your all-consuming peace devour the vipers of my tongue before they are birthed into existence.

Let the ocean of Your peace drown my mind to the constant evil that dwells therein.

Tie the mill-stone of Your love around my neck, that I may sink deeper and deeper into the depths of Your all-pervading peace.

Oh, that I may freeze in this ocean-deep and become numb to the disease of self-exaltation; the enemy of these waters.

Invade...consume...devour...and drown all that is not peace within me.

Amen
