To Seek Your Glory
This prayer asks for G-d’s help in the act of seeking G-d. A paradox? Perhaps. And yet, seeking G-d takes profound patience, the patience to wait for water to slice into stone, to stay present to the grandeur of each moment, the patience to watch and wait to see if the bush burns but is not consumed. It also takes courage. This is one of a series prayers including “To Hear Your Voice,” “To Seek Your Love” and “To Know Your Word.” Please listen along as you read.

To Seek Your Glory
Divine author of creation,
Well of mystery,
Majestic hand of light and truth,
Grant me the patience and wisdom
To seek Your wonders,
The glory of Your sacred and holy Name.
Open my eyes to radiance and splendor,
The steady flow of holiness and love,
To awe, abundance, beauty, comfort and rest.
Set us on the path of devotion and dedication,
A wondrous journey of discovery.
Give us energy, endurance and enthusiasm,
Zest and zeal,
To live our lives in wonder,
Seeking Your holy presence.
G-d of All being,
Font of wisdom and joy,
Your Glory endures.
