You Are Near

Holy Comforter, 
You are near when my dream dies. 
You are near the brokenhearted. 
Thanks be to you for a new dream and a future beyond my imagining.

Maker of Miracle, 
You are near when I cannot see your will. 
When a good choice, even a merciful choice, is not your choice. 
Thanks be to you for correction and clarity.

Divine One, 
You are near when I dismiss the holy. 
When I say no to your call. 
Thanks be to you for your patience, your persevering grace, and second chances.

O come, O come Emmanuel, 
strengthen me with…
