God,

When will I figure out that you are really all I need? When will I figure out that all these other things (being famous, skinny, a good…fill in the blank) leave me empty and the desires I have for them rape and ravage me, leaving me to feel like an unfulfilled pile of guilt? When will I remember that on days when my personality and emotions so cloud my sight of you, that you are still there guiding and shaping me?

It’s easy to say that you are all I want, but I want to live it! Continue to burn within me and on the days when I glaze over and begin to just coast through life…stoke that fire and consume me! I have caught glimpses of it…I can feel it inside me right now, and I want nothing else but your love to surround me, your calling to bear fruit through me, and your holiness to consume me.

To be in the presence of the One who is!
