Give Me Strength, O Jagannath

 Give Me Strength, O Jagannath I don't ask for an easy road, Jagannath, only the strength to walk it straight — that my faith in You may never bend, never break beneath the weight. Let me choose the harder right over the easier wrong, and if I ever start to drift, Lord of the Universe, pull me back before too long. Lift the fog of my unknowing, let Your wisdom find its way in. Keep me far from every darkness that could lead me into sin. Whatever life You choose to give me, let it be a good one, clean and true — I ask for no one's ruin, no grudge I'm holding onto. I stop asking what I've gathered, what is mine to keep, to hold — let me ask instead what I have given, what my open hands let go. Let joy be something I hand out freely, till the world feels less like a fight, and every life I've ever touched remembers I brought a little light. Wash me in Your mercy, Madhava, let it reach the hidden, unclean parts — the corners I don't speak of, the quiet wounds inside...
