Prayer

As I sit here and listen
to your subtle inspirations,
As I sift and gather
what you have whispered into my ear,
Help me to share your good gifts.

That those who read these writings
may find the friend in it
that is YOU.

That through it they may find
the Life that You came
to give them an abundance of.

That they may find through it
the masterpieces of themselves
that You created in the first place.

Let this work touch their minds and hearts
that they may find You
and the Father, and the Holy Spirit in it.

That they may learn to love not only you,
Not only themselves, but also others---
those others that are all reflections of your Glory.

That thereby they may give Joy and Delight to the Father…
and that He may find Jesus

“…playing in ten thousand places
through the features of men’s faces.”
