I've posted this prayer several times, most recently about a year ago. I know some folks who, these days, might benefit from these words - and I suppose there are times when all of us might find them helpful...
Some days, Lord, I wonder where you are.
Some days I just can't seem to find you.
Some days I wonder
if you've forgotten or abandoned me
- or if, in fact,
you were ever there to to begin with...
But you are there, Lord,
even when such thoughts cross my mind
or lodge in my heart,
- even then, you're there...
It's my faith that you're there
that keeps me seeking,
keeps me reaching out
for you and your help...
When I'm too busy
to make time for you in my day, Lord,
- you're there...
Though I may forget or ignore you
for days and weeks on end
- you're there, Lord...
Whether I'm faithful to your word
or doing whatever the hell I want,
- you're there, Lord...
In good times and in bad,
in sickness and in health,
- you're always there, Lord...
Whether I'm at peace with all around me
or consumed by bitterness and anger
- you're there, Lord...
Whether I see you in my neighbor
or miss you altogether
- you're there, Lord...
Whether I walk the path you chart for me
or strike out on my own,
at every twist and turn
- you're there, Lord...
You're there, Lord, always there:
before me, behind me, beside me,
above me, below me, within me...
you never leave my side...
You're here, Lord, always here:
with me and for me
in every moment, in every hour
of every day of my whole life...
Whether I invite you or bar you,
welcome or reject you,
trust or doubt you,
see or ignore you,
embrace or deny you,
follow or leave you,
you're there, Lord, you're here, Lord,
- as you're with me even now...
Attune me to your presence, Lord,
your faithful, abiding presence
and let me not forget
that you're here, you're there
- you're everywhere!
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.
You wrote the story of my life
You go before you fall behind, yeah
Before a breath beyond my death
you are with me all the way
to everlasting
Oh I can't run, I can't hide
Even darkness is a light
From the lowest place to the highest praise
You are worthy
Amazing love how can it be
Far too wonderful for me
There's only one thing left to say
You are worthy, oh
Search me God and know my heart
Try me, know my anxious thoughts, yeah
Find the weakness in me
and lead me in the way Everlasting
Oh I can't run, I can't hide
Even darkness is a light
From the lowest place to the highest praise
You are worthy
Amazing love how can it be
Far too wonderful for me
There's only one thing left to say
You are worthy, oh
You formed me in my mothers womb
You know my frame, my flesh, and bone
Oh, how wonderfully made
Oh I can't describe it's way too hard
You see me through and through
and call me loved
What a wonderful grace, oh
Oh I can't run, I can't hide
Even darkness is a light
From the lowest place to the highest praise
You are worthy
Amazing love how can it be
Far too wonderful for me
There's only one thing left to say
You are worthy, oh
