God: Long before I understood it, you knew my soul longs to be transformed in you. I pray to receive what you already give. Sometimes it is a burning desire, other times a quiet compulsion. Regardless, I ask for you each day.

To truly receive you, I must trust unconditionally that whether I feel pain or joy, what I request is being delivered. I must open my eyes and heart to receive, never thinking I understand or assuming I know what is yet to come - never guessing. I must allow all aspects of the lived experience to change. And continually allow myself to disappear, that you may appear in my place.
