Is there something I’m not seeing
Up there in the clouds
The sunlight casting shadows
Still they seem the same
But how I see has changed
Activities are overtaken
By doctors, tests, an orthopedist and a dentist to add to the rest
Sometimes this blurs my vision
And challenges my faith
But like needing weights for greater muscle
Gives me reason to stand the test
Faith grows stronger especially when its tested
She is greater and ever present
To combat any storm
And gives to me new vision
To be inspired not forlorn
Let me not forget the power of giving thanks
Like water to a starving plant
Drown me in your love dear God
And saturate my soul with the gift of your living Spirit
May I consider always the needs of others with prayers and the power of your love
This gives me evidence of your presence
And your will and mine in peace become as one

God help us with our addiction to news
And also those who’d rather snooze denying what’s apparent
Finding joy and peace and happiness
Is truly a treasure hunt
Worth the seeking and the finding
For You exist even amidst the rubble
Of what we call our troubles
There You are and have always been
Not seeking You is the only sin
For once we do discover You
Doubt and fears become dismissed
Replaced by faith to open hearts that reveal Your Majesty

Lord, I pray before I dress
To consider all that you have blest
Put my thoughts to test
That in You all reliance rests
Consider this
And do not miss
What needs to be your daily quest
As far as the east is from the west
Is the extent of My love growing greater never less
On this truth You can surely rest
I have endowed you with my very breath
Given you a heart that beats
Ability with hands and feet
Knowledge of me when I speak
Welcome me as you would the morning sun
Trusting that the best is yet to come
Upon this path is born a new day bright
Where in your heart there glows a light
You call it love, I call it might
From which comes all that is good in life
Make this your engine’s driving force
Our hearts united on this daily course

I pray here now to declare
Your presence ever vibrant here
To speak aloud Your glories
In the eyes that meet You in the mirror of Your creation
To not absorb my self with self
But rather selflessly release
Free will to become one with Yours
Harness thoughts that seek an unknown future
Speed the track from past to present
Memories that shackle when dwelt upon too long
Or living in an impossible tomorrow
In an air that only You can breathe
Bring me back to this moment
Where I can be of love and service to live in full expression
Like a flower blooming on the vine
Never minding fate of wilting, falling
Back to earth then heavenward where the journey never ends
While still unfurling petals grow to magnify its beauty
With nature all surrounding giving homage to You near

I can wait
For I am eternity
Waiting for your desire
To spend all of it with Me
Patience is a gift
And I cannot give to you
What is not already all of Me
Open your heart
And your eyes will see
A glimpse of all I have in store for thee
Be prepared to receive My love
In measure so immeasurable
It must overflow to burst upon a hungry, wanting, waiting world
As my messenger you receive
The gift of being my ambassador
You may not see your reward today but do not be forlorn
For hope is ministered through my angels’ hands to feed your soul, to keep you strong
Remember I am faithful
And I am always with you
Waiting, wanting, loving you

Oh Lord I pray to hear your voice when you call
Especially in times when I cannot see you at all
Like a mariner dependent on bearings and instruments
Seeking port on a far and distant shore
Cause my heart to rise above the depths of unknown seas
And in that fleeting moment bask in the brilliance of Your majesty
