A Prayer: Longing
Longing for your blessing, I come to you, Lord. Seeking, Searching, Striving, For what I already have. Father, bless me today With knowledge Of who you are; Of who I am; Secure in your arms, Safe in your presence, Solid in my salvation; Knowing your peace.
A Prayer: Looking Beyond the Longing
Lord, help me to look beyond my longing, To find rest in you alone, Help me realize there is no need For longing, For searching, For yearning. They are like Circles of wind That never cease. A restlessness That never ends. In you, everything Is secure, Is safe, Is right. In you I have found Everything I need; Forever. Today, help me to Rest in you alone. Amen.
A Quote by St. Augustine
“For you made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in you.”
A Passage: For Reflection this Week
I am at rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold;
I will never be shaken.
— Psalm 62:1-2 CSB
