Someday, the sky will open and You will enter this
world again. Forgive me for the times I misplaced the hope
of that amid the bills and appointments and deadlines that
clutter my days. Forgive me for times I let the sparkle of
the world steal my attention from the vision of Your glory.
Keep my eyes on You, Lord. Keep my heart yearning
for the moment You open the door and enter my home.
Keep my candle lit in the anticipation of see in the
beauty of Your Face and hearing the tenderness in Your voice.
You have given me everything. To whom much is given,
much is required. Help me to live to my potential.
Help me to keep my house in order, to not be satisfied
with the bare walls of my life, but to decorate them with the
things that appeal to You. An act of mercy. A word of encouragement.
A tear of compassion.
Lord, may I dress to please You. May I clothe my body in
purity, resisting the temptation to sell myself for untrue love.
May I adorn my heart with fidelity, always keeping in mind the vow
I made when You first came into my life.
Fire my soul with a desire for You. Help me never to lose
my first love. Help me stay true to the end.
Keep me vigilant through dark and desolate nights.
Keep my candle lit, Lord. Please, keep my candle lit.
