Hover

Heavenly Father,

As your spirit hovered over the chaotic waters before creation, hover over the tumult in my soul. Speak forth light. Illuminate the darkest recesses and let the light of truth set me free. I do not do the good I want to do, and I keep on doing that which I want most to stop. Who will release me from this cycle of death? Liberate my will so that I may have the freedom to submit myself to you. Give me the knowledge of your will and the strength to carry it out. Renew my mind and soften my heart. Fill me with abundant wisdom tempered with humility and love. Walk with me in the cool of the day. I long for you. Do not hide from my searching. Let me perceive your loving face in all my experiences. May all of your good gifts of grace point my affections to you. Keep me far from temptation. Show me how to resist the evil one. Give me the passion of my first love for you.

In the name above all names. Amen.
