Prayer to the one greater than all my thoughts about HIM

Lord, Master, Friend, Lover, Creator, Maker, Wisdom, Love, Infinite,

Not enough words to capture you.

Never enough words to explain you.

You are beyond all my words and all my explanations.

You are THE OTHER - HOLY yet INTIMATE - in me, around, me, knowing me, without boundaries, there are no boundaries for you except those you make for yourself.

I am before you.

You know my needs.

They are big for me. They are small for you. They are big for you because they are big for me. You understand my small vision. You understand my small strength. I lift them to you and ask you to help me comprehend them from your point of view.

Forgive me my folly and moral failures. Being before you is hard for it always is that I fall short. Short of sanity, short of stability, and short of being one with you in thought and will. I fall short.

Forgive me for the sake of Jesus dying on the cross. Such profound words. Wild words. True words. My Messiah dying for me. How can it be? How serious sin must be. Help me see sin as serious. As crucifying.

Lord, I lift to you all the stuff of my life. The purpose and plans. The problems and pains. I give it all to you. Please help me and carry that which will crush me without you.

In Messiah's name

Amen
