Gracious God,

Calm the activity in my brain and heart so that I may focus on you.  Sometimes the temptations of this life keep me from basking in your glory as I should.  Sometimes I feel drawn away as I attempt  to approach you.  Sometimes (most of the time) I feel as if I have no clue what I am to do.  Pour your Holy Spirit upon me; inspire me with your wisdom; create in me a clean heart so that I may live for you and you alone.  Show me your glory; remind me of your love; teach me your ways so that I may teach others.  Oh God, you are an awesome God.  You give us so much.  And by just taking this time to talk to you I am being reminded that you are listening.  Thank you, God, for loving me the way you do.  Thank you, God, for being patient with me through your forgiveness.  Thank you, God, for calming my heart.  Help me to keep my focus on you.  Through your Son and our Lord, Jesus Christ I pray…Amen! -EDH-
