Prayer from the depths

As large as my desire, as large as my emptiness, fill me
As high as my desire for beauty, be thus unto me show me your glory and beauty
As deep as my needs are for Your love fill me.

Teach me to seek you,
Teach me to be still before you.

Be my courage, be my voice, my wisdom and strength.
Be my purity of heart, my cleansing Spirit.

Be my help and my shield.

Help me to take up the cross and take up also the suffering for the Glorification of Christ in us.

Be my source of approval and love, let me not seek to be popular or favoured by man, becoming a man pleaser. Let me grow in favour with You.

Be our exceedingly abundant portion of strength and joy.

Restore our confidence and joy in you again.
