Prayer 07/11/05

Lord, When you created us did you see us down here living small lives

Do you sometimes see us give you a nod sometimes when we have a minute?

Some never give you a nod at all.

They don't see that you have them in the palm of your hand

you put eternity in our hearts that we would enjoy this small slice of eternity

seeking you.

Yet we are busy busy busy

scurry all about

worry worry worry

never have a doubt

never slow down

and make yourself think

you may realize the emptiness the lack

may have a longing for home (heaven)

a longing for our saviour

so turn off your tv

get off your bar stool

put the bong away.

stop eating the chips

don't bow down to the simple cheap gods we have made

that cost us everything

turn our faces to the ultimate maker

the lover of our souls

even as he sees into the recess of our lives

he holds us as precious
