Reach of to me.

Heavenly Father,

To you, I light my voice in prayer. To you, I cry out. You have been my help and salvation from my youth. Many times, I have called on your name, and you have answered me. Your timing and ways are not what I, in my limited perspective, would have chosen, but you are good. I have tasted and seen you. Now I long to experience you again. My reaching out to you is half-hearted. In the busyness of my soul, I treat you as a check box. But the goal is in your hands and not my unworthy attempts. So I ask you to show me your glory. It is ever before me in your world and word, but I perceive it not. Open my eyes to see you. Let my heart gaze on him, who holds the universe together. May my spirit feel a kinship with him, who breathed life into my nostrils. May I reflect back to you the divine attributes you have gifted to me as your image bearer.

In the name of him who gave up his righteousness for me. Amen.
