A Prayer For The Yearning To See Jesus

Precious Father,
Wonderful Lord Jesus,
Abiding Holy Spirit,
I yearn for the day you come to live with us, precious Lord.
Lord, I am in great distress.
The evil one has come and put walls around me.
I cannot see over these walls.
There are times when the darkness shoots its arrows into me and I bleed from my heart.
There are times when I am doubled over in the pain of being here alone.
Yet I read your words and I can see you coming again.
Even if I never live to see you return to earth, I still trust you to be with me in spirit in the here and now.
In the dark recesses of my mind, I can hear the voices of the world calling me to leave your Cross, as the pain is taking its toll upon me.
Yet, I cannot leave you hanging on the Cross alone.
I am here with you while you are suffering on the Cross.
No matter how much pain I am in at this moment, I know you tasted more of this bitter fruit when I crucified you.
Lord, I cannot hear your voice now.
Yet, I still remember when you spoke to me a short time ago.
I remember your touch so divine.
In your name, I reclaim your presence within me.
In your name, I seek your power of love to fill the hurtful void within me.
In no way do I want to leave you, for I see your suffering for me on the cross.
In no way do I want to turn my back on you, for I have heard your voice and I can still remember how you told me you loved me.
In all the ways you are able, be not far from me.
In all the ways you are able, come into my mind and heart.
In all the ways you are able, tear down these walls around me.
In the name of God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit who lives in me and touches me,
Amen
