Just yesterday, Lord,
in a moment of pure grace,
you poked my heart and nudged me
you poked my heart and nudged me
to come to you in prayer…
I wonder…
how long had you been trying to get my attention?
how often had you tugged at the sleeve of my soul
how often had you tugged at the sleeve of my soul
before I felt the touch of your hand?
how often had you called my name
how often had you called my name
before I heard and stirred and answered?
I wonder, Lord…
how many times every day
do you poke, push, prod
do you poke, push, prod
and tap me on the shoulder
looking to spend some time with me,
some peaceful, personal, quality time
alone with me in prayer…
Give me the grace I need today
to notice when you nudge me, Lord,
and hear you when you call me
to turn to you in prayer…
Amen.
