Morning Prayer
But He [Jesus] answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.' " (Matt. 4:4) O God, please talk to me! As to Your Word I turn, Say what You will, only clearly; To hear Your voice I yearn. This time with You my lifeline is; I cannot start the day Without the bread that Your voice is - So talk to me, I pray. Challenge, comfort, or correct - Whatever You deem best. My heart kneels now in deep respect, Faith in Your words shall rest. Your presence and Your Book - true gifts Your Spirit melds together. O let my gaze from You not drift - From Trinity, my God forever. O God, please talk to me! As to Your Word I turn, Say what You will, only clearly; To hear Your voice I yearn.
