My mind is restless tonight
Waiting
Listening
Longing
My body is screaming for sleep
But my mind is still disturbed.
Nothing wrong but wanting more
Of the secrets I’ve been learning:
How to live
And love
By giving
Up
So life and love can surge through me
And I can rest – really be who I am.
How long does this transformation take?
Learning
Growing
Practicing
Lord, I crave the climax to this story
despite the thrill of the adventure.
This is idle time I can’t stand.
To take you in and not give you
is overwhelming
and excruciating
in restless
anxiety
for I sense my purpose only
when you live yours through me.

Free me Lord by using me
and revealing your Son in me:
He who suffered
and died
then rose
to live by the right hand of God
and in the hearts of men like me.
Reveal your mystery of Godliness
that I may know you who knows me:
Your Life
In me
As my Life
Amazing Love: How can this be
that you, my Lord, should live in me?
Remove the scales from my eyes
and break my hardened heart
that your power
and your joy
through your love
will be given to others through me
that I may know you in sharing your gift.
My flesh is weak but spirit willing – Help me
Endure
Abide
Overcome
and live – truly live –
not the life of mere men –
rather the valiant life of a true Son of God.
