What does it look like?
What does drawing near to you look like, Lord?
Is it reading books of praise in the early hours?
Is it sitting on a cushion, breath focused and eyes inward?
Is it repairing the fence? Feeding my hungry neighbor?
❖
You are with me in every moment, Lord. Let me then seek to draw near to you at all times.
Draw nigh to me, I pray.

How can I best try to reach you?
