Give us, O God,
the wisdom that comes from being willing to take risks,
to follow intuitions and to travel in strange company
to that place where the ultimate wisdom lies revealed,
even Jesus Christ out Lord.
prayer from Lebanon

But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
