This prayer came to me yesterday morning, when I was saying grace before breakfast. It began with just the first two lines, which I noted down, expecting nothing further. However, over the following hour the rest slowly arrived, line by line, until it was complete. Then, to my surprise, tomorrow’s prayer came, too, forming a linked pair.
I have calmed and quieted myself, like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother’s milk. Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me (Psalm 131:2; NLT).
Nothing to ask for,
Nothing to say,
Nothing I need, Lord:
You are my way.
You are my water,
You are my food,
You are my Teacher:
You are my truth.
Father, in sickness,
Jesus, in strife,
Spirit, in sorrow:
You are my life.
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6; NLT).
