God’s Attentive Grace

In shadows deep, where sorrows dwell, 
Our hearts weighed down, our spirits frail, 
We turn to God, our refuge sure, 
His love, unyielding, ever pure.

In desperate hours, when hope seems lost, 
He hears our cries, no matter the cost, 
His eyes upon us, unwavering gaze, 
Guiding us through life’s tangled maze.

Through whispered prayers, we find our way, 
A sacred bond that will not sway, 
For God is near, His presence known, 
In quiet moments, seeds are sown.

His wisdom flows like gentle streams, 
His grace, a balm for wounded dreams, 
And as we seek Him earnestly, 
We taste His goodness, rich and free.

So let us live our faith each day, 
With reverence, trust, and hearts ablaze, 
For God is attentive, ever near, 
Our refuge, protector, always here.
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.
