Afire

Oh Lord, who have I but You? You are the beat of my heart and the fire in my soul. Blaze up within me! Set my heart ablaze with love for you and love for my brothers and sisters. Let not these words be but flourishes of prose, but let them be the honest and naked passion of my soul.
Oh Lord and Master, you are my life and my very breath. When the fire on the altar of my heart grows small, bring seraphs to my heart and touch me with a blazing coal from the altar of heaven. Purify me and set me, once more, ablaze with love.
Oh Lord Jesus, help me to say…if all else falls away, if I were completely alone…You are enough. My fingers hesitate and hover over the keys afraid and tentative. So, I whisper with weak faith…You are enough. Deepen my faith and devotion.
Oh Father, give me an undivided heart wholly devoted to You. You are the aching throb of my soul. Fill me with your goodness and your love. I am Yours. Do with me as you will.
