Prayer Offered for January 9, 2017

I search for you, O God, always elusive and hidden.
I long to dwell in the heart of Mystery.

I search for my true self, more of who I already am,
Knowing there’s so much yet to be discovered.

I search for vision in the shadows of my soul,
Impatiently waiting the moment of light.

I search for a quiet heart amid life’s harried schedule;
My soul cries out, yearning for solitude.

I search for Home, always for Home,
Forgetting, of course, that I am already there.—AMEN.
