The Answers We Seek

Oh Holy God, mighty God have mercy on me and all of Your children. We drown in the sea of death, thinking that the water's stench is as sweet smelling as the palace's rose garden. Forgive us for not looking to You for the answers that we seek instead of looking at our neighbor, or the person next to us... only to find that they are not the one to fix our stare upon. It's so easy to get confused down here when all do growl and gnash their teeth while thinking that things should go their way... because this world would be so much better. To do things their way instead of following You, to absorb and bask in the gift of the Spirit that You have given us. To draw from the abundant wells of goodness, divine love, strength and power... Such as the Holy indwelling being might give us, to have life and to have life more abundantly.
