We are restless, Lord.
Uncomfortable with the status quo,
Tired of business as usual,
Yet unsure of where to go from here.

Holy God!
Make us aware again,
Not of what You can give us,
But of WHO YOU ARE!
Stir in our breasts an earnest longing
For a knowing rather than a hearing,
For a revealing beyond a mere teaching.

It is no longer enough
To have walked in Your precepts before,
Or to have felt Your brief touches before.
Yesterday’s manna is no longer sufficient
For us, Your children.
We need the Bread of Life—every day!
We need the Living Water—every day!

We need the Light of Your presence…
When we wake in the morning,
When we sit down to eat,
When we rise up from the table,
When we walk in the world,
When we talk with our neighbors,
When we lie down to sleep in Your arms…

O Lord,
Thank you
For not letting us be complacent…
