My God, search me out

Thou art the God of the early mornings, the God of the late at nights,
the God of the mountain peaks, and the God of the sea;

but, my God, my soul has further horizons than the early mornings, deeper darkness than the nights of earth, higher peaks than any mountain peaks, greater depths than any sea in nature—

Thou Who art the God of all these, be my God.

I cannot reach to the heights or to the depths;
there are motives I cannot trace, dreams I cannot get at—

my God, search me out.


Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

Praise and glory

I have had that written in my Bible for years. It is such a beautiful prayer. May God bless you as you search for His guidance in your life.
