"Not God at the margins; not God as an option; not God on the weekends. God at center and circumference."
--Eugene Peterson, The Message (Introduction to Genesis)
Yes, Lord, be the center, the hub of my world. Be the gravitational force that keeps me orbiting around You like planets in a solar system. May I constantly be aware that You are my source of life; without You my world is cold and barren.
Be the circumference, the outer edges of my experience. Like centrifugal force, keep pushing me; out of my comfort zone, past my own limitations, stretched beyond my preconceived notions of my life. Keep me from being insulated in my little nest, and push me to spread my wings, getting a more heavenly perspective.
