  • Teach Me Lord

    It’s been long,
    Long since I sat and listened,
    Long since I prayed,
    But not too long since I called.
    Just for You to keep me strong,
    For you to keep me going.

    In the brokenness,
    Teach me to praise.
    In the waiting,
    Teach me patience.
    In the healing,
    Teach me to trust.
    Not just the process,
    But also the processor – You.

    Teach me your ways,
    Let my heart delight in your laws,
    Let my desire be your will.
    During the storm,
    Teach me to be still.

    Remind me of your love,
    Remind me of your grace,
    Remind me of your mercy,
    Remind me to hold on.],
    For a while,
    Just till you say…
    “It’s over….”
    Till you are done with me.
    Remind me, Father,
    That I am yours.

    As you heal my broken pieces,
    I will have peace.

    I open the front door of my mind to you,
    Wanting to explain why I cannot do the things you want me to.
    You tell me that there is a Creator who loves me,
    Who wants me to follow Him, to be free.

    But I ask you to stick around and understand,
    To stay and explore this sad, dry land.
    I have welcomed Depression into the living room,
    Anxiety and Fear with all their gloom.
    Insecurity has overstayed its welcome;
    Pride somehow snuck by the security alarm.

    Friend, look at all these guests!
    Would your God want such a mess?
    What’s that you say, yes He would?
    Oh, maybe I misunderstood.

    You say there is redemption through His grace?
    Again, you say that I was bought with a price?
    Could it be that I’ve been blinded by a haze?
    Maybe it’s time I turn on the lights.

  • A LITANY FOR CELIBACY

    Lord, I pray for a strong back not a light load,

    But in this prayer lies the fears of this heart!

     

    Lord, I pray for a good life,

    But in this life of good,

    Marriage lacks!

     

    Lord, if it’s not a good and honest man,

    Give me strength for celibacy.

    If it’s not a man of my expectations,

    Give me grace for celibacy.

     

    If it’s not a man worth my salt and coat,

    Lord, give me strength for celibacy.

    If it’s not a man of stature, reasoning and understanding,

    Lord guide me through celibacy.

     

    Lord! If his heart speaks of dirt and mouth of romance,

    Strengthen me for celibacy.

    If he is of no full awareness of your existence,

    Lord make me celibate.

     

    If he speaks of love,

    And acts out of wrath,

    Lord prepare me for celibacy.

     

    If he is ashamed of my weakness

    And emasculated by my strengths,

    Lord speak me into celibacy.

     

    Lord, if he sees not me for me,

    But me for him,

    Lord! Drive me into celibacy.

     

    Lord, I have searched and found that all have fallen short,

    That’s why I crave for celibacy.
