An Intimate Prayer
Dear God, as I reach out to grasp the hand of a
friend, or a stranger,
Even so now, O God, I reach out to You.
You are there, reaching out to me, You reach out -
out of the sky, out of the heavens, out of the Scriptures, You reach out from
the cross -
Because You want to give me new life.
O God, thank You for what You can do, for what You
are doing, and for what You are waiting anxiously to do in me.
Move in and show me the treasures that are waiting to be discovered in me -
Treasures of health and physical fitness,
Prosperity instead of poverty, joy instead of despair, love instead of
loneliness.
I thank You, Lord, that my impossibilities are Your
opportunities.
O God, hear me as I reach out with my struggling,
faltering, stumbling, clumsy faith.
Help me to trust these moments of faith and to doubt my doubts in Your name,
my Lord. |
