Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His faithful love endures forever. Psalm 136:1

I love you, O my God; and I desire to love you more and more. Grant to me that I may love you as much as I desire, and as much as I ought. O dearest Friend, who has so loved and saved me, the thought of whom is so sweet and always growing sweeter, watch over my lips, my steps, my deeds, and I shall not need to be anxious either for my soul or my body. Give me love, sweetest of all gifts, which knows no enemy. Give me in my heart pure love, born of your love to me, that I may love others as you love me. O most loving Father of Jesus Christ, from whom flows all love, let my heart, frozen in sin, cold to you and cold to others, be warmed by this divine fire. So help and bless me in your Son. Amen.

Anselm of Canterbury

Prayer is not eloquence, but earnestness; not the definition of helplessness, but the feeling of it; not figures of speech, but earnestness of soul.

Hannah More

[From The One Year Book of Personal Prayer (Carol Stream, III.: Tyndale, 1991)

DRY BONES (Fill me, my Lord)

Jesus Christ,

My heart will hold on to the expectant hope of you filling it entirely and completely with your love Lord.

I am dry as a river barren but as your love trickles down through me your living water removes the cracks, tears, washes away the stones and fills me completely.  It makes a dry barren land renewed (fresh).

Your Love Oh Lord, is a stream coursing through my body overflowing the banks of the river, spilling onto the dry, parched land surrounding me.  The waste, the desert, the cactus is all flooded and filled, renewed and revived (made alive) by your Spirit (love).

I AM NO LONGER DRY AND EMPTY.  I AM FULL.

I wait expectantly for you..............
