Prayer - The World as God Wants

The World as God wants
Spirit of God, where you want mountains, you pile up rocks with your mighty hand;
And where you want plains, you crush rocks with your mighty feet.
Where you want lakes, you dig a vast hole and fill it with water;
And where you want deserts, you send heat to dry up every drop.
Where you want trees, you draw them out of the earth;
And where you want fields, you sweep the earth clean.
The world is just as you want it to be.
May we behave just as you want us to behave.
~ the prayer of Shona people
