Oh my Lord,
How great it is to be in your presence in prayer. Silently listening to you truly is the fountain of all the love that I have. To be in Your presence gives me life & makes me free, free from the chains of sin. For true freedom isn´t the ability to do what I want but the ability to choose You over all things, even those things which attract me the most.
Lord, let me selflessly throw myself at your feet, at your mercy, at the foot of Your most holy cross. Let me look no-where else but only set my eyes towards that battered & bloody man who emptied himself so that the world could know the Father´s love; that no matter how far we turn, no matter how much we hate Him, no matter how far we run from Him that he will still come for us and will break through our sinfulness & break the chains that hold us to all earthly things and bring us back to Him if only we let Him for one moment.
In this world following you can sometimes seem so hard & yet by Your grace we keep going. Oh Good Lord, let me only focus on heaven and have my gaze fixed firmly on it and not on all things which pass. Oh Lord, let me not pass you in this life without giving you my all. Let me see as you see, not as I wish to see. Let me perceive Your goodness in everyone & everything. Let my eyes see even when all is dark. Let my heart rejoice when there is nothing earthly to rejoice about. Let my ears be attentive to your voice, even when it seems I´m surrounded by silence. Let my mind ascend to you when all the world tries to drag it down. Let my body become secondary to your love and all that you have in mind for me.
I thank you Lord for all the gifts in my life, truly you have blessed me. I pray that I may not fall into sin, not by me because truly I am the weakest of all, but because Your love consumes me even with all my sin.
