Faith - prose by Tanja Nayak

O God.
How can I know You when I cannot see You?
How can I know You when I fail to hear Your voice?
Where are You?

Sometimes I feel so lost and alone.
Today it seems to me that the World cannot see.
Today it seems to me that the World cannot hear.
My heart fills with sadness when I read the daily news.

You will return one day.
It could be tomorrow, it could be ten thousand years from now, only You know the answer to that question.

Perhaps I have been separated from You by my own actions?
But, somehow the mystery of your Divine being is illuminated.
You are indeed present everywhere and in everything.

You are the Universe.
You never left me, nearer than breath.
You are an integral part of my heart and soul.

To know my Divine Creator all I have to do is open my eyes.
You are omnipresent.
You are omniscient.

O Loving and Merciful God.
There is nothing You do not know.
You know the very deepest reaches of my heart.
You know my strengths,
You know my weaknesses.

You are a beacon of light and a steadfast pillar of hope.
I am in awe of You, Gracious and Merciful LORD.
Trees bend in the breeze, but You remain unmoved.

You are steadfast as a rock, You are a guiding light on the shore always leading me home to You.

You are as You always have been.
If You are at the center of my life there is nothing I cannot achieve.
If You are at the center of my life I will never be alone.
Thank You, God for this and every day.

AMEN
