O Lord my God,
Teach my heart this day where and how to see you,
where and how to find you.
You have made me and remade me,
and you have bestowed on me
all the good things I posess,
and still I do not know you.
I have not yet done that for which I was made.
Teach me to seek you,
for I cannot seek you unless you teach me,
or find you unless you show yourself to me.
Let me seek you in my desire,
let me desire you in my seeking.
Let me find you by loving you,
let me love you when I find you.
Saint Anselm (1003-1109)
I found this prayer as I was bloghopping today and it just really made sense to me. I've had this picture for some time now and I love how Jesus holds us. I really get that I am a sheep and He is my Shepherd. I constantly yearn to hear His voice.

Candy, what a nice thing to come across!! I love the picture too...I feel soo much content when I stare at it.
the simple straight forth prayers like this one are the ones that speak from the heart. thanks for sharing it.
Your blog does the same, straight from the heart deep into the soul.
These prayers are speaking to me more often these days too.
Thank you for posting this.
