help me be a servant

You, High God, have called me friend—
and so, strangely, the best I can
offer you today is to call you Lord
and me your servant.

You have taken away my shame—
and so I give you honor.

Strengthen me, Lord,
to serve others—
to honor your image
in those I behold with my eyes
and those you bring forward
to see in my mind’s eye.

Strengthen me to serve
and to honor you,
and the people you call forth in friendship
and the beauty of the world you have made.

Help me be my best self,
the self you desire.
Help me be a servant,
humble and reverent,
gentle and giving.
