Let truth break through the confusion, Lord.  I long to know the truth.  “Show me your ways o Lord, teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me.  For you are the God of my salvation, on you I will wait all the day.” Ps 25

“There is no shadow of turning in you.”  What does that mean?  As an artist I can’t imagine something without shadow – light that is not defined by darkness.  You are a mystery.  You shine with or without other things around to compare you to or to define and contrast you.  You are beautiful beyond description.  I love you.

As I press into your presence, embrace and envelop me.  Absorb me into you until I am no longer me – just part of you.  Fill me with your presence and love. 

Wash away all the selfish and self-centered parts of me that separate and distinguish me from you.  Lord, I long to be one with you.  Cleanse me.  remove anything that is not like you.  Take me deeper than I’ve ever been.  Plunge me in so close to your heart that I will be stuck there – and never come out.  Unleash the power within me to draw close to you.  Release me from these carnal confines and show me how to walk in the spirit every moment of my life.  Break through in truth.  Don’t let me be deceived or follow the voice of another.  I am your sheep.  I want to follow only your voice.  Lead me in your truth and teach me.  take me to new places in you that I’ve never been before.  I want to go deeper in you.

Lord, shine through me and draw others to you.  Let your light shine in my eyes.  Let me see from your perspective, show me how you love.  Show me truth.
