Heart of my heart

Lord,

you know that every day

I can always find many reasons

to be anxious—

be my refuge.

You know my preoccupations of

self-ambition, comfort and

recognition—

make me a servant.

You know every wound within

of every day that has ever been

and you know the ways

I’ve hurt others, too—

help me forgive and be forgiven.

You know I oscillate

between hope and despair

grace and all my subtle coercions—

immerse my heart in your faithful love,

saturate my mind in your truth and promises,

open my eyes and ears by your mercy and understanding,

move my hands by the gentle power of your compassion,

let my words be beautiful, lovely and bright,

both day and night,

so that rising I may rest

and resting I may rise

in You, Heart of my heart.
