ask you say,
well some days
I don't know what to ask
or how, but here I am
praying that you will still
the storm that rages all about me,
longing for your peace,
and seeking the still small voice
whose breath
is more powerful than the thousand
questions and accusations
I find rushing through my brain,
here I am seeking to be
more like you,
longing for your work of transformation
to take me to new levels
of faith
but straining to see
the way through the tangled wilderness
of my days
so I am knocking,
no I am railing against heaven's door,
will you answer,
will you grant me your
gift of grace
for you are the answer I need,
and it is you I am seeking ,
will you help me?
will you strengthen me?
will you wrap your arms around me?
I am asking, seeking, knocking
in obedience to you...
"And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you."
(Luke 11:19)
