Lord, my heart longs to hear your voice just as Jesus did. Help me to draw away from this frantic and busy world to be alone with you. Open my eyes to see what you want to show me, my ears to hear what you desire to tell me. Then and only then will I know what to pray in secret as I respond to your heart. 


Lord, thank you for your promise that those who ask receive and that when we seek, we will find. Grant me the grace to persevere, to keep on asking, seeking and knocking until the answer comes. Thank you for the power and grace of your spirit who gives me the strength to persevere in prayer even when I am at my weakest moment and ready to give up.


Thank you Lord.
