• Prayer
• O God, I have tasted Your goodness, and it has
  both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I
  am painfully conscious of my need of further
  grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God,
  the Triune God, I want to want You I long to be
  filled with longing I thirst to be made more
  thirsty still.

• SHOW ME YOUR GLORY, I pray, so that I may know
  You indeed.
• Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say
  to my soul, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and
  come away. Then, give me grace to rise and
  follow You up from this misty lowland where I
  have wandered so long. In Jesus name. Amen.
