Lord, I focus now on You, with all my heart and mind and soul.
Teach me how to rest and play and pray
and send my spirit soaring far and wide.
Let Your angels inspire and direct me
And bring the touch of heaven very near.
Watch over my emotions, Lord,
Let no wayward fears or longings rule my heart.
Capture wayward thoughts and wild emotions
Restore my heart to silence
Expand my heart to love.
Focus my heart on You, Lord,
lest it seek wrong and foolish things.
Still the darting flitting shafts of longing
And fill my emptiness with the awareness of Your Presence.
Focus my eyes, Lord,
Lest they wander and stray
Restrain and retrain my tongue, Lord,
To speak words that strengthen and build others up.
May no reckless decisions or rash and hurtful words
Bring trouble to myself or others today.
Focus my mind, Lord.
To think Your thoughts and to pray Your prayers.
I offer You My eyes to see for You
My heart to seek and rest in You
My whole being to love You.
In the name of Him who formed the eye and planted the ear, Amen.
