God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.
(1 John 4:16; NLT).
1. Lord,
We look for you
Beyond ourselves:
2. Searching,
Longing,
3. Thirsting
Day by day;
4. When all the time
You dwell, Lord God,
Within us:
5. For you are
Our soul,
6. Our life, our truth,
Our way.

I like this very much, Ruth. Sometimes I frantically search for God, whether it’s in another book, a website, outward signs … when all the time, if I slowed down and calmly reminded myself of the words in your prayer that God is with me internally and not just externally. Beautifully written.
I hope you’re having a good day! :) xxx
Well, if this helps you, even a tiny bit, that makes it all worthwhile, Lesley. I’m on painkillers now, and the difference they make to my quality of life is remarkable xxxxx
That’s fantastic, Ruth! xxx
Yes, isn’t it? I’m moving about so much better. How are you? XXXXX
