TWO PRAYERS
First Prayer
God help me to know you are real
reveal the goodness that is you
let me take you for granted and know.
Second Prayer
Dear Jesus,
jealously is a curious thing
especially when I find myself worried
whether someone else loves you more than I do,
whispers your name more often
understands you better
praises you more to your liking
is more right in your eyes than I am
knows your heart.
In the beginning
at the drop of a hat tears would fall
Lips quivered. And my throat filled.
I couldn’t swallow the joy.
Lord, I said Let me take you for granted.
Let me just know you are.
This love overwelms me.
I’m not strong enough to bear the weight of it.
Now she feels what I felt
thinks what I thought,
Bears what I bore and I say to you Jesus.
Don’t let me take you for granted.
