Divine Insight

Beneath the fig tree’s shade, unseen by mortal eyes, 
Nathanael wrestled with doubts, his heart in disguise. 
Yet Jesus, the Word made flesh, knew his inner strife, 
His secret musings, the depths of his life.

Beyond mere appearances, beyond the earthly veil, 
Christ’s gaze penetrated, His love would prevail. 
For He is more than teacher, more than prophet’s role, 
The Son of God, our Savior, who makes broken hearts whole.

In our faith journey, let’s shed our preconceived views, 
Open our hearts wide to the truths God will infuse. 
Revelations await us, wisdom from His Word, 
As we hunger for understanding, our souls deeply stirred.

So let us approach Scripture with humility and grace, 
Ready to receive divine whispers in every sacred space. 
May our relationship with Jesus ever grow, 
Guided by His insight, His love, and the Spirit’s flow.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
