Dear God, I look at how you have led me in the past, but I struggle to learn the lessons you have for me in the present. What do you want to teach me? What insight do you have for me? What do I need to learn? Are there realities much greater that you want to open up for me than I can understand?

Why am I not more consumed with your eternal realities and seeing the brevity and the fleeting nature of this life, while at the same time seeing it infused with heaven and having the greatest value. These are things that are very difficult for me to see in the way that I should.
