Lord,
My haunting ever-presence
Lord I can't find you in my hidden heart
I come to you with faith and distraction
I have these same flip-flops and my wavy hair
But I am tired of my outside
Do I impress you with my beauty Lord?
Can I ever lie to you, Lord?
I have your presence Lord
when I smile, when I walk, when I glance in a reflection
I have this desk Lord
and a thousand doubts as I work aroundm on top under and inside of it
Tonight I am angry and let down
Tonight, I can't hide Lord
and I feel lost and distracted
All this activity and no movement
I want this changed and over
and to never wander back home the same way again
I am unsure now,
Now that you show me my darkness and the chaos.
(Thank you Molly for the inspiration)

“The humans live in time, but our Enemy (God) destines them to eternity. He therefore, I believe, wants them to attend chiefly to two things, to eternity itself and to the point of time which they call the Present. For the present is the point at which time touches eternity. Of the present moment, and of it only, humans have an experience analogous to the experience which our Enemy (God) has of reality as a whole; in it alone freedom and actuality are offered to them. He would therefore have them continually concerned either with eternity (which means being concerned with Him) or with the Present- either meditating on their eternal union with or separation from, Himself, or else obeying the present voice of conscience, bearing the present cross, receiving the present grace, giving thanks for the present pleasure.” CS Lewis, "The Screwtape Letters"
