Prayer

Searching in the heavens and the depths of my heart for a peace that has been promised to me, but can not find. I become vulnerable in Your presence and I fall down to my knees in prayer thinking may be this time You will grant me what I want. I don't think You are listening to my request as You turn Your face from mine. Yes, I am claiming divine attention with my arms up in the air, waiting for You to pour Your Grace over my disgraceful vessel. Hear me out, I tell You, hear me out! Where are You my Lord? Can't You see that I have grown weary and hopeless running behind a purpose that doesn't let me focus because it is quickly gone out of sight. I am thirsty. Give me Your Mercy. I am hungry. Feed me Your Word. Lift me up and hold me tight. Stretch out your hand and reach for me as I fall. Guide me in Your Way...
