“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.”

I found this prayer among my son’s homework the day I asked God to set me out on a journey of faith as I was facing one of the most desperate times of my life. It was as if He were whispering in my ear “I have heard the crying of your heart. I have seen the searching of your soul. I know how deeply you desire the truth. In pain you have called out for it. I will speak to you if you will listen. I will show you then that I have always been there for you.”

O GOD, COME INTO MY LIFE AND GRANT ME PEACE. AMEN.
