A Prayer for Monday, February 6, 2017

Desire

O God,

Thank you for the desires that come with being human, including the desire to know you.

Forgive us when we try to substitute the fulfillment of other, lesser desires for the fulfillment that comes from knowing you.

Let the desire to know you overcome us; let the fulfillment of that desire overwhelm us.

Even as we give other desires their proper place, let the desire to know you be the one desire of our hearts.


Amen.
