A Morning Prayer
Josh June 17th, 2007
O Lord, on this Thy day, I am saddened. Clouds of melancholy loom heavily over me in thickness. I feel abandoned (selfishly, I suppose). But not by Thee, O Lord. No, Thou art my steadfast Rock, enthroned above. Thou hast promised never to leave nor forsake Thy servant. Blessed be Thy Name, O Lord- Thy love endures forever. Take my eyes of me, and set them on Thee, my God. For Thou alone art from everlasting to everlasting, never changing, always seeking my good, according to Thy great promises and plan. Rid me of selfish inner focus, that I may set my heart solely on Thee. For Thou alone art worthy of my worship, adoration. Thou hast searched me and known me. Thou art familiar with all my ways. Take away my pride. Take away the wretched idea that I deserve anything. My breath, my Church, my friends, my family, etc. They are all gifts from Thee, and Thou alone dost know the ifs and whens of my need for them. Thou givest. Thou takest away. Blessed be Thy Name, O Lord. For Thou art truly good.
