a prayer

I'm not sure who wrote this? I think I did. However, sometimes I'll jot things down in my journal and have to get up and I forgot where I got such a fabulous thought!

Hope you enjoy it. I know it's been keeping me afloat lately.

"Holy Father.
Thank you for revealing truth in my heart. So much of me is a mess, broken and ugly. I long for help. I long for a friend and unconditional love. I yearn for fellowship and "that something" to fill that God shaped hole in me. I run to so many things and yeah, even people when I'm sad and lonely. You see me do this late into the night, middle of the day! Distracting myself from Your waving arms. Help me to turn from my daydreams, my imaginations and indulgences. Give me strength to throw down my idols and seek You when I'm angry, sad and lonely. Turn the gaze of my soul to my God. You know me. You see it all. You return my gaze with a heart full of love and with mercy in Your eyes.

Let me be reminded of the hole that is in me is You.
Let me be reminded that the hole that is in You, is me."
