How To Train Your Dragon

 

Rule in the midst of your foes.

             Psalm 110. 2

(We all have fire-breathing dragons,

fearful mythical creatures

        both real and imagined,

fierce and overbearing people

  or situations in our lives

that threaten to take us down.

But we need not shudder

                 before them.

How do we train these dragons?

What do we do with them?

Live differently among them.

Love radically.

Take them by surprise.

Be a witness there.

Give grace the space

         to enter in.)

O LORD,

Help us not to cower in fear,

   but stand with Your courage

             and a fresh heart.

Turn on Your light

   to melt away the shadows.

Empower us to faithfully stand

    even in our scary places.

Because You are with us.

                          Always.

We walk among dragons

      to bring Your name here.

And that changes everything,

     both them and us.
