a Sunday prayer

holy Father.. Spirit of light, life.. God of love and mercy divine How great is your truth.. How great are your ways Your unending, unfailing love

holy Father whom I have leaned on and rested in since i was a child How real you have shown yourself.. How sure is your voice How gentle your guidance How sweet is your Song

holy Father spirit of quenching waters How ceaseless is your salve how perpetual is your peace how calming your counsel

holy Father holy Father

you bring freedom to my chains you bring goodness to my heart you preach to me you speak to me you whisper truths when i bend to hear

holy Father holy One

you know me by name. and i, i hear you, oh Father i will seek you oh Lord to find you in the secret place

my separation from you, see to it’s removal for in you alone do i find life in you alone do i find rest in you alone do i find joy in you alone is there peace and gladness of heart in you alone do i overcome

so spirit of the Living God, I humbly present my requests in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving eager expectation and joy unending

lord, teach me your ways.. open the eyes of my heart so that i might see as you see

each day anew each morning i rise show me your path the one that leads to you, holy Father not to righteousness, nor riches not to fullness or wholeness or happiness or even forgiveness, father but to you i want to walk with you talk with you hear your call lean into your goodness and rest in your hands all the days of my life..

amen
