Hot and Cold

Heavenly Father,

You are the eternal, unchanging God; I, a fickle creature, come before your face. Some days my heart is lifted to sing about your mighty works and glorious attributes. On other days the most profound doctrines do not stir me even a little. I can react to the smallest gift with an overflow of gratitude or feel nothing towards you for an unimaginable answer to prayer. Some days your Word is as water in a dry desert land, and others, I leave my open Bible for whatever whim strikes my fancy. Come to my rescue, oh great Father. Allow me to continue to revel in the times when you and your gifts are a delight, but also soften my heart when it is hard. Take my heart of stone and give me a heart of flesh that delights in doing your will. Do not let your brilliance be masked by my fickle heart. Shine through, my God. Overcome me.

In the above all names, Amen.
