I pray that I would hear you speak.
Bring sound into my silent heart
and quiet to my racing mind,
like music in the discord.
I pray to hear you despite this art
I have of hearing everything
yet listening to nothing.
I pray that you would speak
into my moments of deepest inattention
and remind me to be still.
I pray for your words and your ways
to diffuse into my being
and bring light to darkness,
healing to pain,
redemption to rebellion,
order into chaos,
and a hunger for you
into my exhausted apathy.
I believe – Lord help my unbelief.
