a prayer for restarting

[prismaticbleed]

God, thank You for pursuing me even into the desolate wastelands of my life, unwilling to lose me or leave me to suffer alone in those dank deserts. You search me out when I stray, and You always find me when I get myself lost.

I tremble with wonder when I realize that you want to intimately know me. Your relentless pursuit is a courtship. You never once abandon me. Already You are committed to my highest good, devoted to the actualization of my salvation, and the purification of my heart.

Lord, please free me from worldly distractions, idle speech, useless thoughts, and selfish desires.

For Your honor, and with trust in Your righteous sovereignty, I let go of my personal comforts and control.

Restart my passion and heart for You! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
