Holy are you, Lord.I come to your table again by your grace,By your mercy, because ofYour unfathomable goodness and lovingkindness.I know I am not worthy, butYour blood covers me again and again.Let me know your presence, Jesus.Let me come to the Father through you.Envelop me, Holy Spirit, with your love. In your presence, God, is fullness […]

Determination creeps up on me and pouncesLike a lion snatching its prey from the jaws of indifference.Till now I have simply existed—Wandering from day to day with some bewilderment,Wondering if my days held any real substance.It’s a terrible state to be in.That tepid, tasteless miasma blankets everythingUntil I can’t tell what the point is:Wake, eat, […]

I find myself thinking of you a lot, and I do mean A LOT.You are on my mind a goodly portion of Every. Single. Day.How you look, things you say,The affectionate way you… surround me…Like the shoulder rubs in the mornings,Or the frequent, extended hugs in the evenings.It’s so very odd in one sense.It doesn’t […]

Meditating on you, Lord, takes effort, I have found. You are so… present in every moment, Yet so far away from my thoughts. How can I, small-minded as I am, Keep refocusing on the greatness of you— Your love, your grace, your mercy, your kindness? I just want to be aware and sensitive, So that […]

Holy Spirit, sometimes I despair that I will ever find a deep, lasting change; Then your hope rises up in me again, Reminding me that this journey is just that— A path from here to there. I am not here or there… I am on the way. Change will come, because that is the nature […]

Countless times I am drawn again To the matchless wonder of who you are, Reminded over and over again that you are God— The Father who spoke life into the void, The Son who spoke life to a buried body, The Spirit who speaks life daily to each heart. No matter how my mind wanders, […]

I find I cannot reach for words the way I used to.I put things down only to discover it falls short.What I want to say, I am unable to say,So I keep on babbling in some vain effort to expressAll the mixed up cauldron of mess in my heart.Still, I can’t not write, so I […]

In those moments when I feel a stirring that I can’t explain, A fire coming alight in me, when I have felt so lukewarm lately, All I can do is marvel at the mercy being poured out on me. May it be so, Holy Spirit, that I am inflamed by the heat of your love. […]

Sometimes You sleep when the wind and waves crash over me. I wonder in my unbelief if I will be overwhelmed, Because I am staring at the fury instead of at Your face. Yet, I know in my heart of hearts that I can trust You. It is only when I forget that I falter… […]

Sweet sleep come greet me soon Before my mind wanders overmuch. Let the still night hours wrap my thoughts Till peace and quiet reign again, and My body finds comfort in my familiar bed. Let the angels fill my dreams with more… More You, Lord… more grace, Father… More rest, Holy Spirit, in Your habitations […]
