Daily Prayer - Fear not ... the oven?

Good Friday morning, my friends.
 
The prayer below is a great analogy to living a life of faith, a life in God's will.  And it left me hungry!
 
Grace and peace and freshly baked bread be yours!
Bruce
 

Help me, O God,
 
To live the recipe
before I give the recipe.
 
Give me the kneading strength
to work the words into the doughy recesses of my life.
 
Help me to leave it alone a while
so it can rise.
 
Help me not to fear the oven
so it can bake.
 
And grant that in the baking
the world would be able to roll down its window
and savor the aroma of freshly baked bread...
 
(a prayer of Ken Gire, from Windows of the Soul, p. 59 by way of http://bobhostetler.blogspot.ca/2013/09/a-prayer-for-incarnation.html)
