I sit here dried up, uninspired
pen in hand, but not to paper
My mind anywhere but here
my mornings dull and dry
My heart is thirsting for you
but my head distracted and my soul so weary
I know I’ll find life in your words
but my eyes just pass over and glaze
Oh show me the way
clear my head
consume my thoughts
breakthrough my soul
and flood my spirit
Help me out of this wilderness
this desert
and to the well
Lift your cup to my lips
for a taste of your goodness
Melt my hurry and worry
Chip away what this world has hardened
May this body be revived by your spirit
my soul renewed with your word
my head filled with your perfect peace
and my mind surrender to your will
As you breathed life into the dust in the Garden,
breathe life into my wilderness now.
We praise you, Oh God.
Amen
