NIGHT PRAYER: Tuesday 9/29

My most important task in this life, Lord

is to know you and to love you

and apart from that

– nothing else is important –

except insofar as someone or something

might help me grow

in my knowledge and love of you…

As quick as I am to say I love you

(and it’s likely I say this

too often, too quickly)

I’m not so quick to say I know you

– but how can I love you

if I don’t know you?

And could I ever know you

– and not come to love you?

I want to know you better, Lord!

I want to know you

– better than I know myself –

better than anyone or anything

that keeps me from knowing

– and loving you…

Then teach me to know you, Lord:

to know you

and all of your loving ways,

to know you

and find the depth of your truth,

to know you, Lord, above all else

that I might come to love you…

Protect me, Lord, while I’m awake

and watch over me while I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

and asleep rest in your peace…
