A Prayer for the body - Grant Me Lord: Strong feet, that I might walk confidently into the world to do your will. Powerful legs, that they might carry me through times of trial, and hold me up during times of great joy. Versatile torso, that I might receive your blessed nutrients, integrate healthy nourishment, and dispel harmful waste. Stout heart, that it might beat powerfully through times of dis-ease, throb gently with compassion and empathy for others, and thoroughly rejoice in times of joy and wonderment. Strong arms to enfold others in comfort and grace. Gentle hands to offer blessings and a healing touch to those in need. Powerful shoulders to bring the body to attention so as to be present to the love of God and all people. Characteristic face, that its features might reflect the image of Christ always. Cautious mouth, that any utterance be delivered with the will of God in mind, that words might not be destructive, but offer encouragement and hope. Vibrant mind, that it might always be open to God's will, to others who reflect the image of Christ, and which continues to diligently search for the middle way to integrity and truth.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God - what is good and acceptable and perfect... -Romans 12:2
