As a lone goose flies calling out,
in pursuit of the one they’ve lost.
Like a cheetah races after her prey,
with focus no matter terrain’s cost.

Much like open arms of a mother’s heart,
Yearning for her grown child’s arms.
Lead me to a full-on pursuit of your love
Without distraction, keeping me from harm

As a spouse woos their love many years
to show loves continuing flame
I seek your heart and love, Lord
Confident you already know my name.

Creator, Sustainer, Giver of Eternal Life
Thank for comforting me with your truth.
I love you with all my heart,
And in Holy Focus I remain in pursuit.

Complacency strikes at the top of a peak,
When things are going just fine and dandy.
It seems at these times, Lord, I think only of me
Thinking of you if and when you might come in handy.

So focused on my own well-being,
and comfortable in new found ease
Pride takes over and I let go of you
Soon and quickly I neglect to please.

Forgive me, Dear God, for being so obtuse
Thank you for guiding me humbly low.
Whether peaks or valleys, I love you Lord!
New and various ways I’ll seek to show

On those mornings
As I woefully, anxiously awake
When filled with stress and worry
Pondering my life’s mistakes

With prayer, I stop
In order to ease my mind
Giving Jesus my burdens
And so again I find

Rather than living the hurried pace
Tripping over problems perceived
Slowing to here, seeking your face
Noticing blessings received

On those mornings
As I wonderfully, miraculously awake
Fill me with joy and grace
As I leave my problems for you to take.
