That I might . . .
Oh, that I might ever know
Your Presence in every face
Your Pulse in every heart;
That I might ever feel
Your Breath in every breeze
Your Touch in every rain drop;
That I might ever see
Your Smile in every bloom
Your Might in each sunrise.
And oh, please grant
That I might view
Life's beauty through
Your Eyes

Options:
• Try listening to chant (Christian, Buddhist, etc.) to help you center before devotions.
• Use this prayer during the day when you break for devotion, repeating it on rising, at noon or lunch, and upon retiring.
• Today, make the effort to see God's presence in every face you meet. Note the experience in your prayer journal.
