Dear God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire.
O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee. I long to be filled with longing. I thirst to be made more thirsty still.
Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, so that I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Give me the grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long.
Amen
Dear Lord, the abuse I suffered is an obstacle to trust and the lack of trust is an obstacle to love. Please teach me to want to live again. To want to trust again. To want to love again. My feelings are very empty. All I know is contentment at it's most poorest days. Amen.
ReplyDeleteDear God, I pray for the homeless who ventured into the world,leaving family and friends. Please give them the thought to return home as a prodigal son/daughter and please provide a save journey with enough food and water to sustain them in good health. In Jesus name, Amen.
