You call us to love you with all our heart, all our mind, all our strength.
But, if we’re honest, we don’t give you all we have.
We hold back—because we aren’t worthy, because we are afraid, because we are selfish.
We aren’t always sure what love really is.
We forget to look to you, and even when we look, our vision is clouded.
Clear the chaos within us, O God,
that we may focus on you.
We will seek you with our whole hearts.
Amen.
