Here I am, Lord
Lord, here I am
Oft repeated refrain
Never gets old
To be in the Now
Not looking back
Nor looking ahead
Just being Here
The present moment
A blink in time
Yet full of blessing
Pregnant with hope
Hope to be realized
Just around the corner
Will it be today?
I’ve been waiting so long
Life is always waiting
Actively waiting
Not doing nothing
Preparing for what’s next
How do I do that?
Just doing the next best thing
Pausing to Ask
Being led by the Spirit
Expectant faith
Being surprised
Anticipating Goodness
No matter what it looks like
Trusting in Your mercy
All in Your Providence
Nothing is random
All has a purpose
It takes some practice
Not the natural response
Not analyzed with reason
But trusting with faith
So no matter what Lord
Trusting in the waiting
Your perfect timing
For all to be ready
St Solanus Casey
Thanking You ahead of time
You’re God
And I’m not
So I’ll keep in mind a picture
Of what I hope to be
Knowing You always bring
What’s best for us all
May not be what I’m imagining
But that’s the surprise
My history has shown me
Your Providence is best
Chases away the worries
Brings peace to my heart
What can I fear
From the God of all Goodness?
So thank You Lord praise You
My next best thing is sleep
To arise again to a new day
Giving birth to Love
