[From Sept. 12, 2019 archive]
O, you do not hide from me
in clouds or thick darkness,
God—at least, not often—
but neither do I hear you
speaking in clear words.
That said, I often have a sense
of your being at work in me,
ready to enable me to work
and do your good pleasure.
Forgive the many times
I fail to heed your call.
