My heart is breaking as I remember how it used to be (Psalm 42:4; NLT).
Lord,
I can’t recapture what I’ve seen
And felt, in prayer,
Nor mimic the experience
Of unity with you.
I can’t re-grasp each blissful state,
However hard I try,
For oneness is your gift, alone –
A gift that’s always new.
Everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with him (Philippians 3:8-9; NLT).
