I'm groggy when I first wake up, Lord,
but not so foggy that I miss you,
wide awake and waiting for me,
there at the foot of my bed,
waiting for me to rise and shine...
waiting for me to call upon your name...
waiting for me to ask your blessing on my day...
waiting for me to tip my heart and thoughts
to you in prayer...
waiting for me to open my soul
to your Spirit's gentle breeze...
waiting for me to ask your help
with this day's trials and troubles...
waiting for me to walk with you,
and follow where you lead...
waiting for me to pray you heal
my brokenness and bruises...
waiting for me to lean on you
in sorrow and in grief...
waiting for me to seek your light
to lead me through the shadows...
waiting for me to seek your mercy,
pardon for my sins...
waiting for me to praise you
for this day's joys and blessings...
waiting for me to ask your help
with this day's work and worry
waiting for me to ask your strength
when I am weak and helpless...
waiting for me to discover
this day's mystery and surprises...
waiting for me to find you, Lord
in all the times and places
where you wait for me in love...
Help me wait for you in faith, Lord,
help me wait for you with hope,
help me wait for you in love...
Help me find peace, Lord, in my waiting
for you who wait for me...
Amen.
