Today’s Prayer

And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.-Luke 24:49

Prayer to Keep the Faith

I am wandering in the desert, Lord
despite my best efforts
I am no closer to You

I listen attentively to Your word
study daily
and spend time in prayer

but my soul is parched

I hear and understand
I believe and have faith
I know

was I too long away from You?
did I use up all Your good will?
will I ever be enough to be part of Your plan?

I want to continue

with some distance to go
my faith will be challenged
my desires will rise up to distract me

I will stumble
I will fall
but I will return to You

again and again and again

until I am worthy of Your mercy
until I find my way back to You
until I am complete

Amen
