Remain in Me

My prayer based on John 15:4-11 - written 12/2024

How do I keep you with me

Every part of my day

How do I keep you in every thought

A priority I desire to make

How do I listen well to what

You have to say

Is it that I just trust that you are here

Beside me, inside me

Your still small voice I long to hear

Knowing every part of my day is

In line with your will

Confident that what I’m doing is obedient to your way

I know to love you is to obey you

But I long for deeper awareness, to remain in your presence

I want to hear your voice guiding every choice and every thought and every action

Remain in me and I will remain in you

Perhaps this is where faith and trust go

Hand in hand

Faith that you are with me whether I hear or feel anything at all

Trust that you keep your word

So here I am Lord ready to remain in you

I believe you will remain in me

Because of your words: Remain in me and I will remain in you.
