A Life Prayer from Vince Antonucci

Yesterday I introduced you to my life prayer.

After I wrote that post, I was reading some other blogs and found another prayer that would be a good life prayer.

It comes from Vince Antonucci. Here is what he wrote:

God, I want more.

I want to love, cry, smile. I want to be a radical. I want to pray. I want to sweat blood. I want to feel. I want intimacy. I want passion. I want power, resurrection power.

I want to see You. I want to touch Heaven. I want to hurt, to suffer.

I want to walk, run, and fly.

I want to scream. I want to rejoice. I want to laugh till I ache. I want to ache. I want to care.

I want to be in the rebellion. I want to lead the rebellion. I want to be the rebellion.

I want to live with reckless abandon. I want to be astonished and afraid. I want to dream. I want to see visions. I want to hear the clatter of dry bones coming together.

I want good friends. I want to love my enemies.

I want holiness. I want to experience the sacred, the divine.

I want to hallow Your name. I want to walk on water. I want to dance on water.

I want to touch the sick, I want to experience their pain, I want to heal them. I want truth. I want to be set free. I want to be hungry, and I want to be full.

I want the Spirit. I want to drink the Spirit. I want to be falling down drunk on the Spirit. I want guidance, direction, discernment, wisdom.

I want to be a warrior. I want to never look back, turn back, or go back. I want to attack. I

want to cause trouble. I want to induce fear. I want to turn the world upside down. I want to pour myself out and pour myself into today like there’s no tomorrow.

I want to be comforted. I want to thirst for righteousness. I want to be an agent of justice.

I want to shine. I want to blaze. I want to bathe in grace. I want beauty from my ashes.

I want to seek first the Kingdom, I want to bring the Kingdom, I want the Kingdom to fill me up and spill out of me. I want to carry the cross till my legs burn and my shoulder bleeds.

I want to see that the tomb is empty.

I want Jesus. Lifted up, easy to see, leading my life, overwhelming my life with His life.

I want Jesus. I want Jesus.

Thanks, Vince! I want that too.
