Weary

Lord,
I come before you, tired,
for day to day,
it all seems the same.
Everything, from the weather
to what I do,
sucks out the little energy I have.
I have gotten away from you, once again,
trying to strike out on my own,
I have neglected my energy source.

God,
Why have I not visited your pasture of rest,
or sat under the shadow of your peace?
Why have I ignored your fountain of love,
or looked past your banquet of joy?

You would think I would have learned my lesson by now.
Distance with you just leads to weariness,
and life becomes bland.

God,
lead me back to your presence,
let me drink deep of your grace,
and find rest in the fullness of your presence.
