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
