A prayer for beginning to pray...

A prayer to begin my prayer...

Lord Jesus:
you are here now,
always
and only
because you want me
and want to be with me...

Lord Jesus:
I am here now,
again
and only
because I want you
and want to be with you...

Lord Jesus,
help me surrender
to your love,
your mercy
and your arms...

thank you for this-

sometimes- a lot of times- I can't find words for my prayers-
so maybe this, "a prayer to begin my prayer", could also be "just" a prayer-
"just enough", at least sometimes, when I just can't say anything else- ?
because I do believe (or I hope to) that God knows what we need even before we speak...
and maybe even if we can't- ?
