Design our Desire

"Lord, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble: Thou wilt prepare their heart, Thou wilt cause Thine ear to hear" (Psalm 10:17). "Men ought always to pray, and not to faint" (Luke 18:1).

Lord, you know our trend of thought
Toward worry or complaint.
And that is why you said we ought
To pray and not to faint.

Teach us, then, to never tire
Of talking, Lord, with You.
Give us a humble, right desire
In prayer and all we do.
