Waking Thought's Abiding Prayer

Thank you, Father, for the breath in my lungs and the beat of my heart.

Please keep me aware of your presence today, never to depart.

Open the eyes of my heart to see your works all around,

Open the ears of my heart to your loving whispers’ sound.

Let me rest in your love, that living water for my soul,

And be rooted in you, a life in faith made whole.

By your Holy Spirit, teach me the way I am to walk.

Let it burn brightly, giving me only the words I’m to talk.

From this vessel may Your love and light be poured,

That the world may know you are God, Redeemer, and Lord.

Amen
