Holy God, teach me to
pray to you always
and not to lose heart.
When I think you have
cast me off,
when it seems you hide
your face from me,
teach me to be patient,
like a farmer waiting
for the rains
to make a crop.
Lord, teach me to return
to you,
and that you will return
to me.

O LORD, why do you cast me off?

Why do you hide your face from me?

Return to me, and I will return to you, says the LORD of
hosts. But you say, "How shall we return?"

crop from the earth, being patient with it until it receives the early and the
late rains.

always and not to lose heart.
