fully known

Opening Prayer: You know me like no other, for you made me.  O God, help me to know you even as I am known.  Amen.

Scripture: Psalm 139:23-24

Journal: What words of deep intimacy do you want to say to God today?  What does he want to say to you?

Reflection:

a prayer for intimate knowing

penetrate me o god
and know me intimately
test me as precious metal
and deeply know
my many thoughts and fears
see if there is any idol within me
anything that grieves you
or brings sorrow to your heart
and lead me in the hidden way
the way that is far too big
for me to see
the way that can only be seen
with the eyes of the heart
the way of eternity
the way without beginning
and without end
the way to my truest home
in you

Prayer

Closing Prayer: O Love Unspeakable, come into the depths of my soul and ignite the flame of love, that its passion might consume my heart and engulf my life with its endless delight.  Amen.
