Dearest Lord,
Your winds blow
and we think of the havoc it causes
Your sun / son shines brightly,
paving the way
enabling those in darkness
to see,
to find the way
but, we complain
that it's too Bright
we want to go our own way
Your word is ever present
in multiple translations
of The Bible
and through men and women and children of the faith
who present the Good News
to others in word and deed.
But still,
we do not see,
we do not hear,
we do not understand,
we remain ignorant.
Your calm stillness before a storm
makes us think momentarily
of the turmoil to come
But we do not reach out to you O God.
We seek to stop the inner pain
through our own means and methods.
How can I fix it...
Ah Lord,
I grow in understanding.
It is only with time,
with personal study,
with a close walk with you,
with listening, and asking questions
and listening, and obeying,
and knowing.
You are all things
You are in all things
Without you there is nothing
Without you I am nothing.
Thank you for me.
Thank you Lord
for my walk with thee
for finding me
for keeping me from being forever lost.
Thank you for sending your son.
Amen.
