More Prayer for More Presence

God, I’m humbled to be able to even think

Much less speak

Of your presence.

O how my heart rejoices

When I open my mind,

When I open my heart,

When I open the depths of my being,

And orient them to your presence,

When your presence becomes the subject

And predicate

Of the sentences of my soul,

Nothing excites me more.

O, for your presence to be

The syntax and grammar of my life.

How I yearn for insight

Regarding your wants and desires.

How I long to know of them

So that I might please you.

Bless you, O God,

For endowing your creation with the ability

To even think about your presence.
